4th annual fall seminar in 

San Francisco

September 15 - 17, 2006

San Francisco is a golden dream come true, a place where heart, mind and soul embrace, lost in the simplicity of delightful deliverance. Fog and sun mingle playfully above America's favorite city; the cool, cloudy comfort of early morning slowly dissolving into the peaceful warmth of a gentle afternoon glow. Touch it....it is real. Feel it.....it is the essence of escape. Savor it.....it is one of a kind. Little wonder why San Francisco has been named the world's top city twice by readers of Condé Nast Traveler; the top U.S. city seven times since 1988.

September and early october are ideal times to visit San Francisco. The fog is out and the days are warm...

Dr. Craig Griffin and Dr. Wayne Rosenkrantz are both Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology and are partners in referral dermatology practices in Tustin (Los Angeles) and San Diego. Being in the largest private dermatology referral practices means that they have probably seen and treated it all. This also means that they will be presenting practical methods of treatment! Dr. Griffin is one of the leading Veterinary Dermatologists and has written chapters and articles in most of the texts and journals. He is a co-author of Small Animal Dermatology and is a frequent speaker at all the major conferences in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Rosenkrantz is also a very popular U.S. and international speaker and author who has previously presented lectures for IVS in Australia and around the U.S. We are pleased that both speakers have agreed to participate in this seminar as their previous seminars for IVS were very well received by all in attendance.
