About the CVMA Convention

“The CVMA convention is more than just CE. It is a chance to understand the state of veterinary medicine in Canada, to network with Canadian colleagues from all corners of the country, and to learn more about the location where the conference is held. I highly recommend!” – 2023 CVMA Convention Speaker
