14. Practical Medicine Philosophy
As referral medicine becomes more advanced, it by default becomes more expensive
Growing gap between general practice and specialty practices
These seminars intend to fill that gap
Everything we talk about this weekend can be done in a rural mixed animal practice
ultrasound

15. Practical Medicine Philosophy
Our Goal
Review common things in detail
Inrease and confirm understanding
Cover uncommon things in less detail
Recognize them and refer to the book
Increase level of care at your clinic and/or be better referring vets
PLEASE PARTICIPATE!!
But take private conversations out in the hall
