Dr. Shannon Oliver Attends Equine Veterinary Convention
Dr. Oliver recently attended the American Association of Equine Practitioners’ 59th Annual Convention, the world’s premier continuing education meeting for equine veterinarians. The convention, held in Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 7 – 11, offered veterinarians the latest advances in equine health care. Scientific sessions covering topics ranging from lameness to the care of older horses were attended by an international gathering of over 2,800 veterinary professionals. Many of the sessions focused on providing new equine health care techniques that can be applied immediately to a veterinarian’s daily practice.
The American Association of Equine Practitioners, headquartered in Lexington, Ky., was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of the horse. Currently, the AAEP reaches more than 5 million horse owners through its over 9,000 members worldwide and is actively involved in ethics issues, practice management, research and continuing education in the equine veterinary profession and horse industry.
