This year’s American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) summer education series will focus on strategies to tackle difficult performance-related cases.
Registration is open for the Virtual Summer CE Series, entitled “Cracking the Performance Horse Code: Interdisciplinary Strategies to Maximize Clinical Outcomes.”
The AAEP says the goal of the online, continuing education course is to provide the diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative strategies critical to clinical success of difficult performance-related cases.
It will include two live, interconnected two-hour sessions each week throughout August. Anchored by a rotating group of dynamic presenters and featuring a diverse format of panel discussions, case examples and live consultations, sessions will highlight the collaborative crosstalk that occurs between specialists and practitioners en route to positive case outcomes. Attendees’ participation during the real-time discussions and Q&A sessions will reinforce the clinical strategies acquired.
Based in Lexington, Kentucky, the AAEP annually offers continuing education events.
View the complete program and register for the series at aaep.org/meetings/virtual-ce-summer-series. Cost is $399 for AAEP members, $499 for non-members and $50 for AAEP student members. The series offers 16 hours of RACE-approved (pending) CE.
All sessions will also be available on demand as a convenience to attendees unable to participate in one or more of the live sessions. All will be held from 5-7 p.m. Eastern.
