Case Studies of Rehabilitation Protocols from Start to Finish

Get involved! A full morning of case studies from the entire staff of rehabilitation presenters is planned. Each horse will be followed from diagnosis through the completion of the rehabilitation protocols – what worked, what didn’t, what could

have been tried? Have you ever had a case like this? Speak up, we want to hear about your experiences, too. In addition, one of the most distinguished clinicians currently in human rehabilitation will be on hand to discuss another perspective – what would happen if this horse were a human? Leave with some solid ideas on protocols that you can use in your practice.

Dear Colleagues,

It is an honor to personally invite you to join us for the FAEP’s 8th Annual Promoting Excellence Symposium “Advanced Equine Sports Medicine from Start to Finish”

being held October 11-14 at the Waldorf Astoria Naples. This year’s symposium features world-renowned speakers presenting the latest advances in equine sports medicine: Regenerative Medicine, Lameness, Imaging, Surgery, Medicine and Rehabilitation.

The Waldorf Astoria Naples is a beautiful resort venue and our list of Distinguished Speakers “speaks” for itself. I would like to particularly thank Drs. Anne Moretta and Suzan Oakley for the many hours they have worked in putting this program together. This symposium is an exceptional opportunity to fulfill your CE requirements in a stunning beachside property at a reasonable price.

If you’re not already a member, for one low annual fee, you will receive dual membership in the FAEP/FVMA. Join today and receive the remainder of 2012 and all of 2013 for the price of one year. Your membership will also enable you to take advantage of the discounted member registration fee for the Promoting Excellence Symposium.

We hope you will join us for this exceptional continuing education opportunity and I look forward to seeing you at the Waldorf Astoria Naples, the crown jewel of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Your escape awaits!

Gregory D. BonenClark, DVM, Diplomate ACVS FAEP Council President
