VIII AAEP News April 2018


CONTINUING EDUCATION


Ambulatory practice, lameness imaging in focus at reformatted summer meeting Optional wet labs added to traditionally evidence-based meeting


The AAEP has integrated optional wet labs into its tradi- tional summer Focus meeting. The meeting has been rebranded as the Summer Focus Conference & Labs and, in 2018, will feature three tracks: Field Skills for Road Warriors, Integrative Imaging for Lameness Diagnosis & Treatment, and Clinical Techniques for Veterinary Students.


This year’s conference will be held June 25–27 at the Marriott Crabtree Valley hotel in Raleigh, N.C., with wet labs at North Carolina State University just 10 minutes away. Profiles of the two veterinarian tracks follow.


TRACK 1 Integrative Imaging for Lameness Diagnosis & Treatment


Time is money for the owner of a lame horse, but each case can present unique challenges to isolating the lameness. During the Integrative Imaging for Lameness Diagnosis & Treatment track, you’ll expand your knowledge and ability to image core regions of the horse to identify lesion locations and normal anatomy as well as performance issues that may not have discreet lameness.


Practical takeaways and/or new information being presented include:

The meeting will conclude with an optional half-day of wet labs that will reinforce your ability to implement many of the concepts and procedures presented during the lecture portion of the meeting. In small groups during either a morning or afternoon session, you’ll rotate through four hour-long lab stations devoted to ultrasound-guided needle placement as well as ultrasound of the hind proximal metatarsus, stifle and back.

You’ll return to practice with an improved ability to pinpoint lameness issues in the hind limb, cervical and thoracolumbar regions of your clients’ horses so that the focus can shift to rehabilitation and the road to recovery.


Presenters: The lecture and wet lab sessions will be led by colleagues on the front edge of lameness rehabilitation:
