    On March 20th, we will be hosting Dr. Jean Hudson for a RACE-approved (1 credit, RACE ID: 20-1082174) in person event! Note: This event is limited to the first 50 registrants.

    About the event topic:

    This lecture provides evidence supporting preventive care diagnostics and the benefits preventive care initiatives offer to every veterinary practice. Consistent preventive care can identify early systemic health problems in animals with no apparent clinical signs, allowing early investigation and appropriate care if needed. We review diagnostics most valuable to preventive care protocols through clinical cases where preventive care testing had a positive impact on patient care and outcome.
