NAVC "The Next Level" Sponsored by Virbac
An interactive group discussion that will challenge participants to think more deeply about specific medical or surgical problems. The overall format is left up to the speakers, but most sessions will be in the form of case presentations which stress pathophysiology and the pharmacological basis of therapy. If you have previously participated in Masterclasses at the NAVC you will recognize this as a similar format. You should also expect, as the name implies, that the material presented will be at a higher and more challenging level.
