9th annual

We have decided to go ahead with the seminar- only change is the location- The Hilton not the Hyatt. Join us and support the rebirth of New Orleans. Much progress has been made recently. The French Quarter is thriving again and the Jazz Fest is being finalized. Restaurants are open and the music is returning.

  This course will present the recent diagnostic and therapeutic breakthroughs for  the most common feline endocrine & oncologic problems using a combination of didactic and case-based teaching. 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. Greco and Bergman are internationally recognized experts in feline diseases. Dr. Greco is one of the world's authorities on feline diabetes & Dr. Bergman is the Head of the prestigious Donaldson-Atwood Cancer Clinic in New York City.  Dr. Greco recently moved from Colorado State University where she was a Professor of Medicine to The Animal Medical Center in New York City. Both speakers are fortunate to work in one of the busiest veterinary centers in the world and so approach clinical problems very practically. 

   

  This seminar has been designed to present the most current information on the diagnosis and treatment of the many common endocrine disorders and feline cancers seen in general practice. 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.
