Work on Your Abstract Submissions! | |
Dear members, colleagues and friends,
I hope that you are enjoying a nice summer. While I know that winter is a long ways away, it will be here faster than you think and with it, our world-famous VOS conference. With this newsletter, the VOS board wants to remind you to start your planning for next year’s conference which we want to be collaborative, innovative and entertaining. This year we will spotlight those going the extra mile to work together toward better patient outcomes, those who put their mentees forward, and those friends and family members who come along, supporting our drive to create a unified community around veterinary orthopedics.
I will take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to the interns and residents who started their new positions a few weeks ago. Being in training is a unique moment in one’s professional journey, and I hope you will find it rewarding and fulfilling, though I have no doubt that there will be some more challenging times. VOS is a resource you can use to learn, grow, and also take a break from your training routine. So request your time off now, work with your mentors to submit an abstract, and join us this winter to be part of what will be an outstanding conference. In addition to the traditional abstract presentations, we will feature a few educational events centered on how to learn and how to teach in this modern digital world. There will also be some sponsored laboratories for hands-on practical training, so stay tuned for announcements as spots will be limited.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, but mostly make sure you work on your abstract submissions! If you need help, let me know and I will find a way to assist you with submitting it!
