Rescheduled! A Note From Our LSVA Team
[/ozy_vc_divider]
Hello Friends and Colleagues,
Thank you for being part of Lone Star Veterinary Academy! Your support and kindness through the past two months have been a bright spot in otherwise trying times. As you know, COVID-19 is continuing to impact social gatherings and businesses across the world. We remain committed to serving our veterinary community throughout the pandemic, even if the shape of our meetings must change.
We’ve continued to closely monitor Local, State, and National Guidelines, and it has become clear that those orders will continue to prevent or radically change public gatherings well into the summer.
After consulting with our Venue Coordinators and Our Speakers, Dr. Couto and Dr. Alleman, we have decided to reschedule LSVA’s July Clinical Pathology Seminar to July 10-11, 2021. We know this news may be disappointing. Please know that our decision was not made lightly. Our #1 priority will always be to provide continuing education experiences of the highest quality.
This program is designed to create thought-provoking discussions and fun interactions between our speakers and attendees – something that simply could not be replicated online. Rather than follow through with a sub-par program, we will look forward to an exceptional in-person workshop next year!
