If you find that the hands-on nature of wet-labs satisfies your continuing education needs better than general scientific presentations or if your practice schedule perhaps limits your attendance availability this year, we invite you to explore our Wet-Lab only registration package.  Because the wet-lab spaces are limited, we encourage participants to register early, as we expect these spaces to fill quickly!

On Tuesday, September 27 an amazingly intimate hands-on opportunity will explore advanced diagnostic analgesic techniques.  The entire day will be devoted to this wet-lab, which will provide attendees 8 continuing education credits.  A select panel of specialists will be providing demonstration and guidance in many of the less-commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic injection techniques, including the shoulder joint, navicular bursa, and cervical facets, just to name a few.  Cadaver specimens and ultrasound machines will be provided for this laboratory; however participants are free to bring their own ultrasound machine for a more personalized wet-lab experience. Special wet-lab rates are available to those choosing to attend the Tuesday wet-lab – registration for Tuesday entitles you to a discount on any wet-lab you may choose to attend on Wednesday - please contact the NEAEP office for more information.

Wednesday, September 28 provides two wet-lab opportunities that will complement our Lameness and Sport Medicine program and the Internal Medicine program. The wet-lab focusing on lameness will provide instruction on specific ultrasound techniques throughout the musculoskeletal system. Ultrasound machines will be graciously provided by our wet-lab sponsor, or attendees may feel free to utilize their own equipment to enhance the practical nature of this opportunity. This wet-lab will be split into 4 stations running throughout the day and will provide 8 continuing education credits. An in-depth wet-lab will be offered for those looking for additional experience in internal medicine subjects: This laboratory will explore the adult equine abdomen by ultrasound, and will provide 4 continuing education credits.

As the veterinary scientific program begins on Thursday, September 29, we are pleased to present a multi-station farrier clinic available to farriers specifically registering for the clinic and to veterinarians who may choose to attend this clinic rather than the scientific sessions running concurrently.  There will be six separate stations available during this clinic.  Techniques will be demonstrated for glue-on shoes, specific shoe-making, sport horse shoeing, welding techniques, applying extensions, and anatomy. Attendees will be required to choose four of the stations at which to participate and can receive 8 continuing education credits for this wet-lab.

Please be certain to look carefully through our registration page to take advantage of these amazing hands-on personalized experiences!
