Conference
| After two years of a virtual annual meeting, ACVR is looking forward to an IN-PERSON conference in Reno, Nevada at the Silver Legacy Hotel, October 19 – 22, 2022. The program committee, led by Dr. Jessica Vallone, is working diligently to create a full 4 days of CE including the in-person opportunities that attendees missed in 2020 and 2021. ACVR also knows that some members appreciated the virtual CE opportunities. To accommodate those individuals, ACVR will have enduring materials with ANYTIME RACE CE made available after the conference. All scientific abstracts and keynote sessions will be available as on-demand content for members who register for enduring material without physically attending. Those who register for Conference will automatically receive access to the enduring materials in addition to the in-person experience.
The ACVR meeting attendance requirement can be fulfilled with either type of registration (enduring or in-person). Each member must determine if they are able to use ANYTIME RACE credit for their veterinary license requirement. |
