This seminar has been designed to present the most current information on the diagnosis and treatment of many cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases that you are commonly asked to manage in your older patients. The main emphasis of the seminars will be to give you practical information that you can readily utilize in your practice- along with providing information on the current treatments being offered at the referral centers. The majority of the problems will be presented in 30 minutes or less to maximize the material you take with you to your practice. Drs. Gordon and Bergman are internationally recognized experts in their fields and both lecture extensively throughout the world. Dr. Bergman is the Head of the prestigious Donaldson-Atwood Cancer Clinic (associated with the AMC) in New York City and Dr. Gordon is involved with a very busy clinical practice at Texas A & M Veterinary school. Because of their involvement with busy veterinary centers, both Sonya and Phil approach clinical problems very practically.
