Upcoming Symposium - 17th Annual ABVP Symposium

The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners invites you to attend the 17th Annual ABVP Symposium, April 12-15, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio.

This comprehensive scientific program provides veterinarians with cutting edge information by top speakers in the fields of Canine, Feline, Avian, Bovine, Equine, Exotic Companion Mammal and Reptile and Amphibian practice. We also have a track dedicated to technicians made possible by our partnership with The Academy of Veterinary Technicians in Clinical Practice. The technician track will offer speakers in Avian/Exotic, Canine/Feline and Production Animal.

Every course is designed not only to assist those seeking certification, but also to provide an excellent review for all practitioners and academicians. This symposium provides one of the best opportunities for professional growth, offering a challenging educational experience with limited time away from your practice.

Up to 22 hours of species-specific CE is provided Thursday through Sunday. Up to sixteen hours of species specific CE will be provided from Friday through Sunday. An additional four-six hours of CE can be obtained by attending the ABVP/AAHA Kick-Off Seminar.
