Seminar Handouts on the Web!
After surveying our speakers and reviewing what is requested of speakers for other presentations, we have revised the format of our seminar handout. We are asking our speakers to provide us with an outline/summary of their presentation. It may take a few months before the seminar handout is received in a standardized format and we appreciate your patience while the new process becomes more widely accepted. We're also asking our speakers to provide us with their slide packs a few days in advance of their presentation or shortly thereafter as many speakers work on their slides up to the evening before their seminar. We advise all members to review the seminar outline/summary from our seminar handout email or from our website. NOTE: This is the same username and password to access the relief vet listings on our Classified Pages.

President's Column
Dear DC Academy Members,
I hope everyone had a restorative and enjoyable summer! On behalf of the Board, I want to officially welcome you back as we kick off another exciting year with the DC Academy of Veterinary Medicine.
First, I want to extend sincere thanks to our outstanding Program Chair, Courtney Scarborough, for curating a phenomenal line-up of world-class speakers for this program year. We are incredibly fortunate to have access to such high-caliber continuing education, and we’re excited to dive into the upcoming sessions.
As we look ahead to the 2025–2026 program year, one of our top goals is to strengthen our Academy community by increasing in-person attendance, fostering meaningful networking opportunities, and getting to know our members better. The strength of the DC Academy has always been rooted in the knowledge, camaraderie, and professional excellence of our members, and we’re committed to making this year more engaging and connected than ever.
To help achieve this, we are including a brief “Get to Know Our Members” survey, and we’d love for each of you to take a few moments to complete - it’s fun, I promise! The survey responses will help us spotlight members throughout the year and celebrate the diverse backgrounds, expertise, and accomplishments that make DCAVM so special.
Thank you for your continued support and participation. We can’t wait to see everyone at our upcoming sessions — whether it’s reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting new colleagues, there’s so much to look forward to.
Here’s to a great year ahead!
Warm regards,
Natasha Ungerer, DVM
