TWO OPPORTUNITES FOR CE CREDIT Food Animal Conference and Winter CE Meeting

The 19th Annual Conference for Food Animal Veterinarians is right around the corner and you are encouraged to attend for a fascinating weekend highlighting several well known speakers. The date for the conference is February 5-7, 2010. Registration and program schedule is available online at www.alvma.com.

The conference has become one of the best sources for continuing education in the southeast for food supply and mixed animal practicing veterinarians. It is held at the 4-H Center in Columbiana, Alabama which recently opened a new conference center, making it a very inviting atmosphere for everyone attending.

This year’s line-up of speakers includes Drs. Don Ball, Tony Frazier, Julie Gard, M. Daniel Givens, Max Irsik, Lisa Kriese-Anderson, Thomas Passler, Darrell Rankins, and Lew Strickland. Topics range from Food Economics and Consumer Choice Epidemiology of Bluetongue Virus. Updates from the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association and the Alabama Farmer’s Federation will also be presented. As always a great time is enjoyed during the Saturday evening dinner when the Downie Awards are presented and practice tips are shared among attendees.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity for continuing education and a chance to interact with fellow veterinarians!
