American College of Zoological Medicine Ultra-short Course at AAZV
Detailed Schedule and Registration
As in previous years, the American College of Zoological Medicine’s Education Committee will sponsor a 1-day ultra-short course in conjunction with the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians 2009 Conference. The annual conference will take place in South Padre Island, October 23nd-29th, 2010. The ACZM Ultra-short Course will be held on Saturday, October 23rd, from 8 am to 5 pm.
This year, to celebrate out joint meeting with the American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians, and the Association of Amphibian and Reptile Veterinarians, the theme of the course will be:
From your Practice to the Field: Small mammals and reptiles in practice and free-ranging birds and carnivores.
Who Should Take this Course?
Anyone interested in learning more about the American College of Zoological Medicine, those that are interested in seeking Diplomate status or are in the process of preparing for examination or any individual who is interested in and can benefit from in-depth, up-to-date, literature-based review lectures on zoological medicine.
The Ultra-short course is administered and instructed by ACZM Diplomates. The Ultra-short course is divided into two main sections:
First Section: Introduces the attendee to the history and mission of the ACZM, reasons for becoming a Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine, how to become eligible to take the ACZM examination, and provide study and test-taking strategy, including a short mock exam. Anyone with a remote interest in becoming eligible or taking the ACZM examination is expected to benefit from this section. This section is particularly useful for people who are not familiar with ACZM and the Diplomate exam.
Second Section: Consists of lectures intended to cover specific zoological medicine topics in-depth.
These lectures are meant to be a thorough review of the literature and help the attendee prepare his/her study strategy and organization of the topics. This course is specifically designed not to overlap with the content covered at the ACZM Short Courses. Anyone interested in in-depth reviews of zoological medicine, including most up-to-date published information would be expected to benefit from this section. This year, the in-depth topics will follow the above theme and will be announced at a later date.
The cost of this course is $135/person if registering before September 15th, $150 if after September 15th or if registering at the meeting. The cost includes a binder of ACZM information handouts, in-depth lecture materials and refreshments. Please note that this course will take place on October 23rd, prior to the start of the scientific program.
