Fourth Annual Potomac Regional Veterinary Conference
Fourth Annual Potomac Regional Veterinary Conference November 7 - 9 , 2014 Baltimore PRVC 2014 Welcome From the Conference Committee Chair and Dean Cyril Clarke Dear Colleague: We are pleased to invite you to attend the fourth annual Potomac Regional Veterinary Conference (PRVC) at the Hyatt Regency in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland on November 7-9, 2014. The PRVC will once again be a joint effort involving the Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and District of Columbia Veterinary Medical Associations, in collaboration with the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and its Alumni Society. The bonds that have developed over the last four years have strengthened as the conference has matured. The individual state VMAs are now actively engaged with one another and share ideas and resources in order to progress their respective associations and the profession. Dean Cyril Clarke is very supportive of further developing former Dean Schurig’s legacy of a regional veterinary conference. Va-Md College of Vet Med has played a central role in the meeting’s success and benefits greatly from its partnership with the regional VMAs. The 2014 PRVC will offer up to 18 hours of continuing education with continued separate tracks in small animal, equine, and public/corporate veterinary medicine. We also will have two new tracks this year: a technician track for 7 hours and a practice management track for 7 hours. We have assembled a renowned group of talented speakers from around the country and the Va-Md College of Veterinary Medicine that will deliver an engaging program. We also want to extend a very special thanks from the PRVC planning committee to the corporate sponsors that make this conference possible. The success of the conference is tied directly to its corporate sponsors and vendors. Please join us in thanking these sponsors. We look forward to the camaraderie and learning that the Potomac Regional Veterinary Conference offers. We will see you in Baltimore!
