October 25, 2009 was the date of Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center’s 6th annual Fall veterinarian symposium. This event was conceived in order to bring together our local and regional equine colleagues for a day of continuing education and to informally share ideas on equine practice in northern California. This year’s event, held at the Blue Goose Conference Center in Loomis, brought together 55 participants to hear the keynote speaker, Dr. Yvette Nout, (click for more information – PDF) as well as to hear presentations by Dr. Jill Higgins and Dr. Langdon Fielding of the LBEMC staff.

A brief description of Dr. Nout’s background is included. She is double board certified in Internal Medicine and in Equine Critical Care and gave 3 thought-provoking talks on equine neurological problems.

A copy of the day’s program (click for pdf) is also included. On the program are the logos and names of our suppliers who helped make the symposium a success. In addition to contributing generously, they also provided displays and descriptions of their newest and most innovative products as well as collaborating to do the cooking for the BBQ lunch. Thank you all.
