Just two brief announcements this month:

First, there will be a free live (on-line) lecture on leech therapy this coming Thursday, 11:am PST. Focusing on the principles and practice of leech therapy in the U.S., this BTER Foundation led course was presented at the Wild on Wounds Conference in 2020. The course is designed for prescribers, therapists, pharmacists, and all others who may use or handle medicinal leeches. Thanks to the support of the Carolina Biological Supply Company, the Wound Care Education Institute and the BTER Foundation will repeat the course, live, on Thursday, February 25. the lecture is free, but Registration is required.

Hope to see some of you at the class, "How not to Suck at Leech Therapy. More information can be found below.

Also, we want to announce that the "awards-eligable" broadcast, BioTherapy Live! is returning next month. BioTherapy Live! will again feature lectures, interviews, discussions and more. The program is tentatively scheduled for March 23 and the 3rd Tuesday of each month, thereafter. If you have questions about any aspect of medicinal animals, be sure to tune in.
