Program Objectives

The theme of this year's program is Potpourri 2000: Blending the Old and the New! The course will focus on the current state of the art in veterinary dermatology emphasizing diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and the best of the old and the new in dermatologic therapeutics. Two special sessions will highlight advances in our understanding of the flea and modern flea control.

Our knowledgeable faculty consists of a carefully selected mix of both academic and private practice dermatologists ensuring the presentation of authoritative and practical information that will be applicable immediately on return to your practice. As always, our faculty have been chosen for their speaking abilities as well as their knowledge.

Our faculty will be available to answer your individual questions at four panel discussions, at numerous refreshment breaks and at our popular, annual "Sunset Chat with the Speakers".

We will be following our tradition of limiting attendance to our first 225 applicants in order to maintain a high degree of personal attention to each attendee and maintain the informal access to speakers that characterizes this meeting.

Please note that casual dress is appropriate for all meetings and social events!
