Dr Suehiro’s Continuing Education in Costa Rica!

April 5th, 2010

Dr S ziplining though Costa Rica.

I attended a four day seminar in March 2010 entitled, “Managing Common Feline Problems” in Jaco, Costa Rica.

The seminar was team taught in sections by three specialists:

Feline Infectious Diseases by Dr Michael Lappin

Feline Surgery by Dr. Catriona MacPhail

Feline Dermatology by Dr. Craig Griffin.

I was able to obtain good information on a few new diagnostic and treatment modalities for feline rhinitis, stomatitis, atopy, asthma, and various gastrointestinal diseases.I also manged to get in some good sights and adventures during my time there.  I strongly believe that a big part of being a good veterinarian is to never stop learning ways to improve the lives of our pets.  It is an ongoing process; it doesn’t stop after you graduate vet school.
