Another great meeting for the MWVOS
Friday, February 12, 2010
I recently returned from the Midwest Veterinary Ophthalmology Society meeting in Asheville, NC. I’ve attended this meeting as an exhibitor for about 10 years now and it is one of my favorites. It’s a small, informal meeting where veterinary ophthalmologists meet to present interesting or perplexing case studies with lively discussion following each presentation.
The exhibitors are included in discussions and activities, such as a trip to the Biltmore Estate and a Saturday evening dinner at the hotel. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about what Wedgewood can do for veterinary ophthalmologists in their practices, and for all of to get to know each other in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Snow storms along the southeast and eastern coast made for interesting travel this year, but all but two of the attendees made it to Asheville. Topics discussed included using famciclovir for herpes and the use of oral tramadol versus topical nalbuphine for controlling post-ophthalmic surgical pain. There were also great round-table discussion on topics like the impact of a down-turned economy on veterinary practices, and the use of homeopathic and other complementary therapies in ophthalmology patients.
Exhibitors are given the opportunity to speak directly to the group, so I took that opportunity to tell everyone about our new web and soon-to-be-launched online ordering sytem! Next year’s meeting is going to be in suburban Chicago and I look forward to seeing everyone there next year!
