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. Registration is $45 and registrants will have access on-demand recordings of the sessions after the October 8, 2023 conference date.

The National Kitten Coalition is an American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) approved provider for RACE® CE. This conference program has been approved for 6.75 credits of RACE® CE for veterinarians and veterinary technicians/nurses in jurisdictions which recognize RACE® approval.
