Seminar Notes on the Web!
Following the lead of many larger national meetings, and in attempt to receive standardized handout material from our speakers, we’re changing what we ask from our speakers. After polling some of our speakers, we’re going to ask for a detailed summary or outline of 3-5 pages of their presentation with a suggested bibliography. Since many of our speakers work on their slide packs up and through the evening before their presentation, we’re asking them to provide these slide packs shortly after their presentation.

We’ve posted a beta version of a link to the recordings of our seminars in the Seminar Notes section of our website. The link to the recordings is in a sidebar on the Seminar Notes page. Many of the recordings of seminars since November 2023 are now available for your review. Please note you will need the recording password in the sidebar to have access to the recordings.

We advise all members to utilize the digital notes from our seminar notes email or from our website; enter the Username and password, and you will be redirected to the notes section of the website. If you need the username and password, please contact our office.

NOTE: The slides from Dr. Kristen Messenger’s May 1 Anesthesia/Pharmacology presentation are now available on the seminar notes page.

Classified Notices:
Veterinarian/Technician/Practices for Sale
Pre-Covid, many of our members remember the Academy had bulletin boards at the Elks Lodge which had postings for veterinarian positions, technician positions, relief veterinarian listings, practices for sale, equipment for sale, etc. As our in-person attendance is dramatically less, we did away with the bulletin boards. However, these notices are still available on the classified page of our website. All are open without a username/password except the relief veterinarian listings. To access the relief veterinarian listing the username and the password is the same as accessing the Seminar Notes page. If interested, we suggest you browse this section as you will see new openings such as the opening for a full time veterinarian at the St. Charles Animal Hospital in Waldorf, MD.

2025-2026 Membership/Registration
