The Lake Tahoe Equine Conference will provide in-depth presentations on medical advancements, lameness diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, regenerative medicine and other important medical and surgical problems.  The presentations by 10 speakers are designed to provide up-to-date practical clinical information.  Current research topics will provide summary results with an emphasis placed on their meaning and application for the equine practitioner.  This course is pending approval for 21 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize AAVSB’s RACE approval; however, participants should be aware that some boards have limitations on the number of hours accepted in certain categories and/or restrictions on certain methods of delivery of continuing education.

The Monday evening social program will provide a valuable informal discussion period where questions will be answered and practitioner experiences shared.  The interval between the morning and evening sessions will allow participants the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Lake Tahoe area.  Downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and hiking are some of the activities available for athletically inclined individuals.  Others may choose to just relax in one of the most beautiful mountainous areas in the world or to enjoy the various Lake Tahoe Casinos.  Participants are encouraged to bring their family and friends.
