Attention OVC faculty members and clinicians: there is still time to sign up as a speaker at the “Lunch With ….” session presented by the OVC in partnership with the 2015 Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) Conference and Trade Show.
Popular with conference delegates and referring veterinarians from across Ontario, the Lunch With… event takes place on Friday, Jan. 30 at 12 p.m. at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto.
The sessions is to allow general practitioners an opportunity to sit down and discuss a specific topic directly with an OVC specialist. The topics are typically current, common issues/medical conundrums that veterinarians are facing.
Based on the survey results from the recent Veterinary Team Appreciation Rounds at OVC, timely topics might include:
• new drugs,revised guidelines
• updates on diagnosis/management of diseases we see often such as thyroid disease, chronic renal failure in cats
• tricks of the trade - helpful hints and techniques in the ICU
• cardiology, diagnosis/management of common conditions
• cardiac vs. respiratory disease, including thoracic radiographs
• post-surgical rehabilitation
• anything oncology related
• itchy skin (dermatology)
• review of common tumor types. i.e name, where usually found, behaviour (i.e. locally aggressive, where they metastasize to etc…), treatment options.
• Nutrition (raw food vs. commercial)
If you are interested in facilitating a session, please email Victoria Wentzell (vwentzel@uoguelph.ca) with your topic/title, a brief description (40 words max).
In order to the meet the publication deadlines, all facilitators, topics and descriptions must be confirmed by this Wednesday, July 9!!
