Veterinary Laser Surgery Symposium

The Veterinary Laser Surgery Symposium, hosted at the Hilton Nashville Downtown, offers a comprehensive program designed for veterinary professionals to enhance their skills in CO laser technology. This event features a full day of practical lectures, case-based discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on learning opportunities aimed at supporting precision, hemostasis, efficiency, and improved surgical workflows across various veterinary procedures. Attendees will benefit from in-depth lectures that build a strong clinical foundation in CO laser surgery, covering essential aspects such as practical protocols, case selection, tissue interaction, and technique refinement.The symposium will include smaller room sessions focused on Q&A and case discussions, allowing for a deeper exploration of surgical decision-making. Optional hands-on lab opportunities are available for both new and experienced users to build confidence and refine their techniques under guided supervision. Participants will learn step-by-step procedures with expert commentary, which will enhance their understanding of surgical planning, laser settings, tissue handling, safety considerations, and technique adjustments that can lead to improved outcomes. The program will also emphasize foundational techniques, workflow efficiency, hemostasis, and procedure planning to help attendees translate lecture concepts into safer clinical applications. A detailed schedule will be announced at a later date, and the program is submitted for RACE continuing education credits.Attendees can enjoy catered breakfasts, lunches, coffee, and snacks throughout the event, along with a catered cocktail reception on Friday evening, providing a relaxed environment for networking and sharing insights. The symposium also highlights significant achievements in the field, with Dr. Jessica Sliger, Dr. Janelle Lee, and Dr. Sara Dilber recognized as Fellows of the American Laser Study Club, showcasing the high caliber of speakers and presenters at this event. Participants will have the chance to learn from experienced clinicians, bringing back practical protocols that can be immediately applied in their practices. The Veterinary Laser Surgery Symposium is an essential event for veterinary professionals looking to advance their knowledge and skills in laser surgery.
