One silver lining to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic is
the accessibility of high-quality continuing education for veterinarians,
animal health technicians and veterinary nurses. While face to face events have
been shelved, which is disappointing, the environment also wins with the reduction
in international airline traffic (for the time being). And CPD is more
affordable when we need it to be.
The International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) is hosting
the world’s first free virtual feline congress for those of us who provide
health care to feline patients. This means that you will be able to watch over
30 hours of CPD from your home – or your practice, or your car – even, finally,
in the company of your cat (or dog, or horse).
The Congress will run from Saturday August 8-11, with
content remaining available on demand until September 11 (for those of us in
different time zones or attending to the real-time needs of our feline patients
on weekends).
I’m excited to have been invited as one of the speakers.
Thanks to generous sponsorship the Congress is free to
ISFM members and non-members. It is a very good opportunity to attend an
international meeting of veterinary professionals from around the globe who
share a commitment to improving cat care.
