H**pVet 2026 was a success!! ππΈ
Thank you to our speakers and our attendees for their efforts and participation during this course!
H**pVet is a week-long, intensive, virtual course that allows veterinary students, interns, residents, and clinicians new to reptile and amphibian practice to learn from leading experts in the field of h**petological medicine.
Material covered includes Reptile and Amphibian Anatomy, Physiology,
Husbandry, Pathology, Therapeutics, Welfare, Parasitology, Endoscopy, Surgical Techniques, and more!
We kicked off the first evening of H**pVet with a keynote from Dr. Doug Mader MS, DVM, DABVP (Canine/Feline), DABVP (Reptile/Amphibian), DECZM (H**petology) where he discussed his journey to becoming a boarded clinician in reptile and amphibian medicine, how he began his own practice, and how this led to the writing of his own book "The Vet at Noah's Ark".
The rest of the evenings were spent in incredibly informative and insightful panels where clinicians shared their perspectives on the board certification process, managing practices, and h**p-related career paths in veterinary medicine.
Looking forward to H**pVet 2027! π’πππΈ
