AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by the program committee for the 2024 AABP Recent Graduate Conference. The chair of the committee is Dr. Nicholas Shen and he is joined by the other beef coordinator Dr. Andy Harding and dairy session coordinators Dr. Rachel O’Leary and Dr. Ryan Wood. The conference CE sessions and preconference seminars are planned by recent graduates to ensure that these sessions are relevant to the attendees. The conference will be held in Knoxville, Tenn., February 9-10, 2024 with preconference seminars on Feb. 8.

This conference includes a keynote presentation titled “Good Husbandry of the Cow Vet” by Dr. Marissa Hake, plus clinical skills sessions, practice management, beef and dairy sessions. Sessions will also include talks about non-bovine species such as camelids and pigs since many rural veterinarians are mixed animal veterinarians providing services to a variety of animals in their communities. The conference will close with a talk about handling disasters with Dr. Tera Barnhardt, practice tips presentations from the program committee, and a closing talk from Dr. Blaine Melody about “What is on Dr. Melody’s Mind?”
