AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by AABP Vice President and Preconference Seminar Coordinator Dr. Elizabeth Quesnell Kohtz. Preconference seminars are small group courses focusing on a specific topic offering high quality continuing education. Seminars are a great way to learn a new skill or advance skills to offer services to your beef and dairy clients. 

Seminars are approved for eight hours per day of continuing education in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval. These courses are an AABP member benefit and available to members who are veterinarians, veterinary technicians and students. There will be six seminars offered at the conference. There is also a student-only lameness seminar that will also be offered.
