Plan to join veterinary colleagues online at the
4th Annual National Kitten Coalition Veterinary Conference on October 8, 2023!
The National Kitten Coalition Veterinary Conference is a kitten-focused, virtual event intended for veterinarians, veterinary technicians/nurses, those currently enrolled in veterinary or veterinary technician schools, veterinary staff members in private practices and shelters, and those involved in veterinary education and research.
This one-day conference will feature presentations by leading veterinary professionals on specialized kitten care, from developmental and social/behavioral information to medications, medical protocols, surgical techniques and more. Since this is a virtual event, you’ll have an opportunity to gain valuable insights and to have your questions answered by some of the most knowledgeable veterinary experts —without having to travel. Registrants will be able to access on-demand recordings of the sessions after the October 8, 2023 date.
The National Kitten Coalition is an American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) approved provider for RACE® CE and all sessions will be submitted for CE approval.
