Program Objectives
The theme of this year's program is: Pruritus
in Paradise: Beyond Corticosteroids! The program will focus
on the diagnosis and management of pruritic skin diseases
in the dog and the cat with emphasis on allergy. "Unrehearsed
Clinical Cases" is our new experimental feature this
year. Faculty pairs will put each other on the spot by presenting
interesting, unknown cases to see how their colleague would
proceed diagnostically and therapeutically. Our goal is
to show you how dermatologists think (or don't think!).
Our knowledgeable faculty consists of a mix
of dermatologists from both academia and private specialty
practice with varied teaching styles ensuring the presentation
of diverse and practical information that will be applicable
immediately on your return to your own practice. As always,
our faculty is chosen for their world class speaking abilities
as well as their knowledge.
Our faculty will be available to answer your
individual questions at multiple question and answer sessions,
panel discussions, at numerous refreshment breaks and at
our popular, annual "Sunset Chat with the Speakers".
We will be continuing our tradition of limiting
attendance to our first 225 registrants 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 address is appropriate
for all meetings and social events!
* Halloween Costume Party and contest in Hawaii: Dress up in your favorite Halloween costume (optional) and join us at the Opening Reception on Halloween night. A wonderful prize will be awarded for best male and female costume.
