Feedback from our attendees:
"³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ continues to be the best opportunity to get excellent CE in a variety of topics that provide the latest research and experience in veterinary medicine."
"It was so wonderful to reconnect with former residents and colleagues after such a long hiatus."
"³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ is a great opportunity to improve my veterinary knowledge while engaging with colleagues."
"I have always returned from the ACVIM forum refreshed and ready to upgrade my veterinary work after attending."
"2022 ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ in Texas was so special because it was a welcome renaissance after a rough two years. It reminded me of why I love this community and why I am so proud to be an ACVIM Diplomate. I look forward to future forums where we can connect with a new generation of future Diplomates and keep a great college going long past our lifetimes."
