A veterinary orthopedist, a behaviorist and a pain management guru sit down together…
It sounds like the ‘lead in’ to a joke, but in reality you play all 3 roles in your practice most every day. Sure…you might have 3 separate appointments…a lame puppy, another with a behavioral issue and another who requires pain management, but more common is that single case that requires you to understand animal behavior as you seek to find the source of discomfort and, then effectively treat it. You are wearing all 3 hats in a single appointment!
Rocky, your star client’s fractious German Shepherd, is lame. You’d love to be able to gain Rocky’s trust to the point that he’ll reliably tell you where he is painful….but you’d also like to survive the interaction and not elevate his level of anxiety in his future visits to your clinic. The art of the meaningful canine lameness exam (what Dr. Ross Palmer calls the “Tell me where it hurts exam”) is MUCH more than a checklist of orthopedic manipulations. Come enjoy the intersection of perspectives of an orthopedist and a behaviorist as Dr. Terry Curtis offers her insights and tips and how this challenge might best be conquered (you can be sure that Dr. P will learn a thing or 2!). Dr. Tamara Grubb will share powerful strategies for pain management of both acute traumatic pain and chronic pain states resulting from osteoarthritis, cancer and more.

Seminar Topics:
These 3 specialists have more in common than might initially meet the eye….come learn from this dynamic trio and return home with some very new perspectives, ideas, and techniques to improve the lives of your patients, your colleagues, and your job satisfaction. In addition, Dr. Curtis will speak to how behavioral cases are different from your “average” case, as well as cover the basics of learning, anxiety, human-directed canine aggression, and behavioral medications. Dr. Grubb will provide you with practical applications of some of the latest pain management research findings and Dr. Palmer will demonstrate priceless new tips on gait evaluation and orthopedic palpation. This innovative seminar is sure to entertain while offering real world solutions to the nagging challenges you face daily.

The parks are an amazing display of desert animal life, unique botanicals and dynamic rock formations. Bordering Red Mountain, Snow Canyon State Park is home to 7,000 acres of red rock canyons and cliffs, lava caves and two volcanic cones. The moderate winter climate of Southern Utah creates an ideal environment to enjoy outdoor activities in Utah year round.
