See Full Schedule

The rapid rise of AI and tele-services in veterinary medicine is reshaping how we deliver care.

Understanding its role is no longer optional.
For practitioners, understanding these tools (and their limits) is essential to protect the integrity of patient care and the veterinary team.
These sessions blend medical CE with practical innovation sessions, helping you adapt responsibly, fully leverage licensed veterinary technicians, and prepare your practice for the future.
The vetSPARK logo marks sessions designed to prepare you for the future of veterinary medicine. Keep an eye out—future workshops and programs will carry the vetSPARK.

Featured Sessions

  • Laws & Rules that Apply to AI and Telemedicine (LEAP CE)
  • Impact of AI in Veterinary Oncology
  • Telemedicine/Remote Care and How Do You Implement It?
  • Build Your AI Plan for Your Practice

You’ll walk away with strategies that benefit pets, strengthen career sustainability, and support the communities you serve.​
