The 8th AABP Recent Graduate Conference is scheduled for February 14-15, 2025, at the Embassy Suites in Norman, Okla. There will also be preconference seminars on February 13 which offer additional CE opportunities.
The theme of the conference is “Be the Beginning” with the intent to empower recent graduates to be the source of change and opportunity in their practices.
The conference keynote presentation will be delivered by Dr. Michelle Schack and is titled “Enhancing Sustainability through Animal and Human Well-Being”. General sessions will follow that focus on health – physical health, financial health, and emotional and mental health. The conference will also offer sessions on mixed animal, clinical skills, practice management, beef, dairy and practice tips from the program committee.
The program committee includes Dr. Cody Sacquitne (committee chair and AABP Emerging Leader), Dr. Colleen Potter (dairy chair), Dr. Patrick Schmitz (cow-calf chair), and Dr. Annika Johnson (feedlot chair).
The conference is open to AABP members who graduated between 2017-2024. All AABP members will have access to the recordings from the conference presentations by going to the Continuing Education menu of the AABP website and clicking on Online CE (recorded sessions).
