The conference theme will focus on assessment, particularly within the context of a competency-based curriculum. Assessing clinical reasoning, communication and professionalism present challenges that differ from those focused on assessing technical skills. Together, we will consider questions such as: What approaches are most successful for teaching “invisible” skills such as professionalism and clinical reasoning? When students’ performance does not meet expectations, what sorts of remediation are most effective? How much is enough, and are the results reliable? What biases underlie...

In Dr.  Mandi de Mestre's talk,"Is there anything I can do to prevent pregnancy loss in my mare?" she will discuss the possible reasons why a mare suffers pregnancy loss, including which ones are the most commonly found in clinical cases of pregnancy loss and what you should be looking out for. She will highlight new findings on novel genetic reasons a pregnancy might fail and how such cases can be identified. The talk will end with how we can use all this information in the management of mares to avoid or minimize the impact of pregnancy loss on mare fertility.  

Artificial intelligence is a broad and growing discipline that touches many facets of everyday life for humans and is more recently emerging in veterinary medicine through topics like companion animal health, population medicine and zoonotic diseases, and digital agriculture and food sustainability. While there has been considerable growth in the use of AI in human medicine, to date, there has been no concerted effort to bring veterinarians practitioners and AI researchers together and share knowledge. This symposium, the first of its kind, will provide a forum for veterinarians, computer...
