Dr. Turner brings over twenty-five years of experience in the profession to this fast-paced, information-packed seminar. A graduate of Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, he subsequently was in emergency and general practice in Portland, Oregon. In 1987, he completed a surgical residency at the University of California at Davis. He became board-certified in small animal surgery in 1988, and then founded the Santa Rosa Veterinary Specialty Group (now known as the Animal Care Center), a large, multi-specialty practice in the wine country of Northern California.

Since 1992, Dr. Turner has been the Program Director and Executive Producer for ContinuEd, where he has been personally responsible for the design, development, and presentation of nearly hundreds of continuing education training seminars and symposia at locations throughout North America, and in Asia.
