GENERA L IN FORMA TION ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The 6th Annual Gulf-Atlantic Veterinary Conference (TGAVC) proudly returns to the Boca Raton Resort & Club, a Waldorf Astoria Resort from December 6 - 9, 2018. The Boca Raton Resort & Club is a luxurious, iconic venue where attendees can truly experience the difference. Amid the resort’s breathtaking ambiance, TGAVC offers attendees an exceptional educational program, hands-on wet labs and workshops, abundant networking opportunities, social activities, and the latest in veterinary products and technology.
CONTINUING EDUCATION Each 50-minute lecture is equal to one continuing education credit. The Gulf-Atlantic Veterinary Conference Program offers 293 total hours of CE. Veterinarians may earn a maximum of 27 credit hours, and team members may earn a maximum of 18 credit hours of CE, inclusive of wet labs, at TGAVC. For your convenience in recording your CE hours, one certificate will be included in your registration packet. It is your responsibility to document the sessions you attend and the number of hours you receive. ■ American Association of Veterinary State Boards RACE, Provider #532 ■ Sponsor of Continuing Education in New York State ■ Florida Board of Veterinary Medicine, DBPR FVMA Provider #31 This program 532-34077 is approved by the AAVSB RACE to offer a total of 257.00 CE Credits (27.00 max) being available to any one veterinarian: and/or 134.00 Veterinary Technician CE Credits (18.00 max). This RACE approval is for the subject matter categories of: Category One: Scientific; Catgory Two: Non-Scientific-Clinical; Category Three: Non-Scientific-Practice Management/Professional Development using the delivery method of Seminar/LectureLab/Wet Lab. This approval is valid in jurisdictions which recognize AAVSB RACE; however, participants are responsible for ascertaining each board’s CE requirements. RACE does not “accredit” or “endorse” or “certify” any program or person, nor does RACE approval validate the content of the program.
