Lab Description:

Rehabilitation doesn’t have to require a dedicated rehab department, expensive equipment or a major investment. In this practical, case-based workshop, learn how to incorporate multimodal rehabilitation into the patients you already see in general practice.

Work through two common cases as you rotate through interactive stations designed around the needs of each patient. Follow a chronic geriatric patient with mobility challenges and osteoarthritis, then work through an early post-operative orthopedic case focused on safe progression without overloading the repair.

Location:

This lab will be held on-site.

Eligibility:

Open to veterinarians and technicians. Participants must be registered for the conference.

Capacity:

Limited to 60 participants. Pre-registration is required to confirm participation.
