The perfect destination for the classic beach vacation, Virginia Beach
maintains a long-standing reputation as a family-friendly oceanfront resort.
Centrally located on the East Coast, Virginia Beach is situated in the
southeastern corner of the state where Virginia meets the sea.
This popular resort city is just four hours away from Washington, D.C.
by car, and within easy fly-drive access of two-thirds of the U.S. population. A
recently-widened 300-foot beach, a three-mile long oceanfront Boardwalk,
historic landmarks, exciting attractions, manicured golf courses, parks and
wildlife habitats, and popular events enhance any visit. Seaside lodging with
spectacular views and dining experiences with succulent seafood abound, and the
resort city's mild climate makes it an ideal vacation spot any season of the
year.
Get up at dawn and watch the sun splash its golden
colors over the early morning sky. Or stay up late and entice your date for a
romantic stroll along the moonlit beach. It’s your Virginia Beach vacation – do
what you like! You define your dream vacation – that’s the mystique of this city
by the sea. If you care for some suggestions on what to do –
well,
we’ve got plenty of them! In Virginia Beach, the museums are intriguing, the
attractions are thrilling and the sites are as appealing as the sunny beaches.
From sites that interpret the city’s early sea-faring history to a
nationally-renowned aquarium, Virginia Beach beckons you to “live the life!”
Accommodations:
The Hilton Resort is a spectacular new 20-story oceanfront
hotel which will raise the standard for hotel properties in Virginia Beach. A

walkout balconies offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, coastline and
surrounding landscape. Standard guest rooms feature an impressive collection of
amenities highlighted by 32-inch flat screen televisions. Executive

pool is ideal for both parents and children alike. So is shopping in the fine
collection of upscale shops that are connected to the hotel's lobby via a
climate-controlled walkway over Atlantic Avenue. Your day at the beach might
include a simple stroll, jet skiing, parasailing or just relaxing under an
umbrella and enjoying beach service from our excellent seafood restaurant, Catch
31. Later on, you can catch live entertainment in adjacent Neptune's Park at 31
Ocean.

Dr Padrid is a former professor of Pulmonary medicine at the University
of Chicago. He is the author of more than 40 peer reviewed scientific journal
articles and over 20 textbook chapters in the field, including CVT, Handbook
of Small Animal Practice, the 5-minute vet consult and Saunders manual of
small animal practice among others. His research and teaching introduced the
use of inhaled medications that has revolutionized our treatment of
asthma and bronchitis in dogs and cats. He continues to be a much sought
after speaker at ACVIM, ECVIM, ACECC, North American Conference, the Atlantic
City Conference, and the World Veterinary Congresses including the
upcoming World Congress in Mexico City and the Past Congresses in Japan and
British Columbia. His popularity as a speaker is in part due to his practical
style and innovative teaching methods that get "the whole crowd into
it" Watch out, he may make you demonstrate wheezing for the audience!!
Dr. Seim is Professor of Surgery at Colorado State
University where he is an active member of the surgical team. He has written
extensively in all the veterinary texts and journals and is a current author in
Dr. Fossum's "Textbook of Veterinary Surgery". Along with both
national and international invitations to lecture, Howard is also a frequent IVS
speaker because of his unique method of lecturing utilizing videos of all the
practical surgical techniques. He is also a fun person to interact with!
Dr. Padrid:
Diagnostic tests in small animal respiratory medicine-
starting with physical exam (anatomic diagnosis like Dr D used to do in
neurology), moving thru the common and novel testing approaches (such as use
pulse ox in the awake patient with pneumonia, heart failure to decide need to
hospitalize, response to therapy etc)
Upper airway disease from nose to trachea- diagnosis and
cutting edge treatments for nasal, pharyngeal, laryngeal and tracheal diseases
-
Feline asthma including use of inhaled medications -includes
comparisions with human asthmatics, included our experience in the last 5 years
using inhaled meds on about 150 cats and about 50 dogs - vidoes of cats
with asthma that are open mouth breathing that get inhaled albuterol and are
fine within 5 minutes for example
Pleural disease-this covers a very novel approach to
evaluating pleural fluid and thus the causes of pleural fluid accumulation that
we do not teach in veterinary medicine but is the standard approach in human
medicine and the approach I have been using for 10 years
Canine chronic bronchitis- includes clinically relevant
pathophysiology to help understand why dog airways collapse as they do, lots of
videos to show various kinds of collapse under bronchoscopy and fluoro
