Mark Papich has been described as “a guru of pharmacology”. Don’t miss your chance to participate in this landmark joint initiative between the Centre for Veterinary Education and the Pharmacology Chapter of the ANZCVS. Mark will be joined by international and local speakers to discuss current and emerging topics in pharmacology and therapeutics.

Contemporary considerations such as extra-label drug use, generics and compounding will all be discussed, as will a 2020 view of the applications of corticosteroids and GI drugs. Whether you have a special interest in pharmacology or are seeking ways to maximise your patient outcomes, there is something for all practitioners. Practical pharmacokinetics, the frustrations of owner compliance, drugs for chronic pain and a debunking of drug therapy myths – everyone will find a pearl to take away from this packed program.
