UPDATE 1/18/2022

Unfortunately, due to the recent surge in COVID cases due to the omicron variant we have made the difficult decision to host the 2022 Winter Conference as a virtual event only. Our highest priority is to provide a healthy and safe environment for our continuing education symposia and we appreciate your patience and patronage during these difficult times. 

Due to the virtual nature of this conference, we have decided to postpone the Dentistry Laboratory and Ventilator Laboratory. The lectures for the Ventilator laboratory will also be postponed as well. Furthermore, we will not be able to offer the livestock sessions, but please check our website for updates on when we shall be able to offer the lectures and laboratories in the future.  We will contact any current registrants and provide a full refund and hope you will consider joining us online! We hope to host these events by early Fall of 2022. Please visit our website for upcoming events - both virtual and onsite! -

First Responders: Complimentary registration to Disaster Medicine/Exotics Only Track webinar is limited and will be a first come first serve basis upon verification with a valid government ID. Email svmcontinuinged@ucdavis.edu to receive a discount code for complimentary registration.
