Equine Medicine Symposium
The most up-to-date information straight from the NC State University veterinarians on subjects that directly affect your horse’s care and management. This is the longest-running equine continuing education program at the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine. It began when the college began! Its overall goal is to bring new health information to horse owners. The discussions are aimed so that novice owners and experience professional trainers all have an opportunity to take home new information that they can apply to their horses. We try also to have some exhibitors available so attendees can learn about individual products or organizations during breaks. More information at: http://cvm.ncsu.edu/conted/equinemed.html
