The 9th Annual Oregon Veterinary Conference (OVC) gets underway at the CH2M HILL Alumni Center and LaSells Stewart Center Friday March 5 and runs through the weekend. The OVC is a cooperative effort of the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) and Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine with the goal of providing meaningful continuing education to veterinarians, practice managers, technicians, assistants, and staff.
Several CVM faculty are speakers at the conference. Drs. Wendy Baltzer, Helio de Morais, and David Sisson cover companion animal topics; Drs. Chris Cebra, John Schlipf, and Katja Zellmer cover equine topics; and Dr. Aurora Villarroel covers food animal topics. Events during the conference include a vendor fair and reception Friday evening; OVMA Awards and Oregon Animal Hall of Fame Luncheon, OSU CVM equine treadmill demonstration at Magruder Hall, and the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association (SCAVMA) Dinner on Saturday.
The alumni class of 2000 is using the OVC as their 10 year class reunion headquarters. They will have a reception at the CH2M HILL Alumni Center Friday night, followed by a dinner at El Presidente’s. Dr. Jani Remsburg is coordinator of the reunion.
Students and faculty are encouraged to participate as their schedule allows. Registration (fee is waived) is required to facilitate seating and catering. For detailed information on the OVC program and events, go to the OVMA website.
