Entertaining Highlights

s in past years, you can build your own program. The convention will offer an option to register for any day or days you want to attend, or register for the entire four-day event. See the registration forms on pages 22-23. The MVMA welcomes Betsy Charles, DVM as our keynote speaker at the General Membership Session Saturday morning. In addition to her keynote address, she will provide continuing education workshops throughout the day on Saturday, as well as an equine lab on Sunday.

Thursday seminars include a variety of topics including small ruminants, black vultures, MU basic science review, and small-animal presentations. In addition, there is Missouri Stocker/Feeder Quality Assurance and BQA Certification, as well as, the MVMA Academy Mini-Topics Seminar packed with short, informative presentations on a variety of subjects. Note: All USDA accreditations will take place on Thursday. • Win or lose, you don’t want to miss the fun and excitement at Friday’s Foundation Reception, Drawing and Silent Auction. Admission is free but small donations are accepted to help defray costs. Hors d’oeuvres will be served. Be sure to purchase your ticket for a chance to win $10,000, and many other cash prizes. Drawing tickets are $100 and can be purchased through the registration forms on pages 20 and 21 while they last. Betsy Charles, DVM, MA

• Veterinary students should plan to attend the “Student Welcome Reception” on Friday afternoon to help you navigate through the convention and make the most out of the event. On Saturday evening, we’re having a student mixer for current veterinary students. There’s also a designated “Study Hall” room on Friday & Saturday for students who want to study in between without driving back and forth and a Student Reception on Saturday (students register online). Watch for student-targeted emails about convention events. • Back by popular demand! The convention’s entire CE program is open to veterinary technicians, practice staff, and technician students.

• Attendees are encouraged to sign up on the registration form to be part of Friday’s VBMA/MVMA Student-Vet Networking where practicing vets and university students get acquainted in this new-style social networking event. Because many fourth-year students already have post-graduation employment commitments, the event is geared to first, second and third year students seeking mentorship, preceptorships, and contacts for future post-graduation employment.

Continuing Education Lab Overview (Sign up on registration form.) Sunday, January 28 8:00-11:50 am • Bovine Podiatry Lab • Tim Evans, DVM • Note: Saturday lecture required. There will be one required lecture reviewing normal anatomy of the bovine foot and its associated structures, as well as some of the most common bovine podiatric diseases. A laboratory session will be held at the Holiday Inn Expo Center using cadaver specimens to demonstrate common foot abnormalities and how to address them diagnostically and therapeutically. 8:00-11:50 am • Communications Lab • Insights Discovery • Heidi Hulon, DVM, CCFP • Note: Must pre-register. Cost $75.00 The Insights Discovery methodology uses a simple and memorable four color model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to the team. We call these the color energies, and it’s the unique mix of Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue energies, which determines how and why people behave the way they do. A great opportunity to bring the team for a deep dive into communication styles. Must pre-register and take the assessment in advance. 8:00-9:50 am • Practical Ultrasound Skills for the General Practitioner • Betsy Charles, DVM, MA • To be held at MU-CVM • Limited to 30 In order to serve our equine patients well in the field, we need useful tools that will help us get to an accurate diagnosis. Often, CE lab opportunities are full of great information, but much of it is not readily applied in the field setting. Building on the motto, consistent practice over time in a psychologically safe team with contextual expert feedback leads to skill mastery, participants will learn a strategy that will allow them to become proficient ultrasonographers in the field using the tools that are readily available to them. We will cover the basics of buttons, understanding how to maximize your probe, and where and how to look for common pathology in the thorax, abdomen and distal limb. Come prepared to get your hands (and arms and sleeves) covered with gel as we practice the skills that will set you up for success when you get back to work. 10:00-11:50 am • Equine Lameness/Nerve Blocks & Wet Lab • Kevin Keegan, DVM & Lyndsey Hayden, DVM • To be held at MU-CVM • Limited to 30 A dynamic laboratory session focused on mastering lameness evaluations in horses through expert observation. We’ll explore the critical skills of visually diagnosing forelimb and hind limb lameness, emphasizing the importance of subjective assessment in differentiating between impact and pushoff lameness. While we’ll briefly use body-mounted inertial sensors for objective validation, the workshop prioritizes practical, eye-based evaluation techniques, essential for everyday veterinary practice. This session is a blend of art and science in veterinary diagnostics, tailored for immediate application in your daily work. 9:00-9:50 am • Certifications for Salmonella Pullorum/Typhoid Whole Blood Plate Testing and Swabbing Gallinaceous Poultry and Waterfowl for Avian Influenza PCR Testing. • Bill Pittenger • Sponsored by the Missouri Department of Agriculture Review of the procedures for whole blood plate testing of gallinaceous poultry and waterfowl. Perform whole blood plate testing of chickens for MDA certification. Review of swabbing recommendations for collecting oral and cloacal samples from gallinaceous poultry and waterfowl for avian influenza PCR testing. Perform oral and cloacal swabbing of chickens for MDA certification.

Visit with the CVM Mules at this year’s convention! Look for them outside the Exhibit Hall area.
