15. PracticalVetMed Philosophy
As referral medicine becomes more advanced, it by default becomes more expensive
There is a 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 with no emergency clinic or specialists within a few hours

Our Goal for the Weekend:
