This event was advertised to Members first and is already full.

*To be added to the wait list please email info@cavm.ab.ca - this gives us an idea of the level of interest and whether or not we should host it again.

We will do our best to record the lecture portions (AV permitting). When the recordings are ready they will be added to the website under the Education/CAVM Recorded Sessions tab and an email will be sent to individuals and clinics.
