George H. Muller Veterinary Dermatalogy Seminar in Hawaii

THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY
GEORGE H. MULLER
VETERINARY DERMATOLOGY SEMINAR IN HAWAII

That Was Then, This Is Now!

A Postgraduate Symposium

Presented by
The School of Veterinary Medicine
University of California, Davis

November 3 - November 10, 2004

Sheraton Maui, Ka’anapali, Maui

Program Objectives

The theme of this year's program is, “That Was Then, This Is Now!”. Each full length presentation will began with a 5 minute whirlwind review of what was known in 1985 followed by the current state-of-the-art in 2004. Our speakers will bring you the newest information available on the diagnosis and management of skin diseases in dogs, cats, rodents and rabbits. Our new feature entitled “What’s New in Veterinary Dermatology”, initiated by an audience suggestion last year, offers 15 minute reviews of “What’s New” in topical therapy, systemic therapy, and flea control.

Program faculty is chosen for world-class speaking ability as well as knowledge; speakers do not say no to the UC Muller Seminar! Our 2004 speakers bring together the collective experiences of both academia and dermatology specialty practice to ensure the presentation of stimulating and practical information that will be applicable immediately on your return to your own practice.

Faculty will be available to answer your individual questions at multiple question & answer sessions, panel discussions, refreshment breaks, and at our popular annual "Sunset Chat with the Speakers".

We will be continuing our tradition of strictly limiting attendance to our first 225 registrants in order to maintain a high degree of personal attention to each attendee and the informal access to both speakers and exhibitors that characterizes this meeting. We plan to make the 20th Anniversary Muller Course a very special event, please register early to avoid disappointment.

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