NAVC and Vetstream logo The North American Veterinary Conference (NAVC), the world’s largest veterinary conference, has formed an agreement with UK-based online content supplier Vetstream to bring its valuable content from the NAVC Conference and the NAVC Institute to veterinarians around the world after the events for the first time. Lectures and learning tracks recorded at the 2012 and 2013 NAVC events will be made available via the Vetacademy web-based video player in the first quarter of 2013. In addition to its well-known fun and face-to-face learning environments at the NAVC Conference, NAVC Institute and the NAVC Expeditions, NAVC will be making available Vetacademy's extensive range of elearning modules on clinical and practice management topics, in an effort to offer additional content for CE online. Held each January in Orlando, Florida, the NAVC Conference receives almost 16,000 delegates from over 70 countries. More than 350 lecturers, many of them globally renowned, speak at the event, which features 12 different daily lecture tracks and also hosts the largest meeting of exotics practitioners in the world. Speakers at the NAVC Conference 2012 included Dr Howie Seim ‘the Video Vet’; exotics specialist Professor Steve Divers; neurologist Dr Rick LeCouteur; internal medicine specialist Dr Michael Schaer and soft tissue surgeon Dr Bonnie Campbell. According to the NAVC, expectations for the lectures at the 2013 are high and it is looking forward to adding a significant number of additional, high-quality, learning opportunities soon after. Vetstream’s clinical reference services, Canis, Felis, Lapis and Equis, provide the world’s largest online source of peer reviewed point-of-care veterinary content. It has recently moved into online continuing education with the launch of Vetacademy, which provides e-learning modules and online videos in partnership with some of the world’s leading veterinary CE providers. Dr Gatz RiddellCommenting on its relationship with Vetstream, NAVC President Dr Gatz Riddell said, “It’s our mission to provide top-shelf, world-class continuing education for all members of the veterinary healthcare team. While the NAVC Conference is a landmark event in the veterinary calendar and many thousands of clinicians from around the world make the journey to attend, realistically, a great many still can’t join us. Our relationship with Vetstream will ensure that veterinarians, veterinary technicians and practice managers who can’t attend can still benefit from the world-class CE for which NAVC is so well known.” Dr G Mark Johnston, Managing Director of Vetstream, adds: “With more and more veterinarians going online to obtain at least some of their CE requirements, we’re delighted to be bringing so many presentations from the top quality NAVC speakers direct to them in the UK – whether in their practice or at home. We are also very pleased to be working with the NAVC to make all of the modules and videos that we have so far collated on Vetacademy available to the US market via the NAVC.” For further information on the NAVC and Vetacademy, visit www.navc.com and www.vetacademy.co.uk.
