NAVC SkillShop, formerly known as the NAVC Institute, retains its role as the leading veterinary education workshop with immersive, hands-on learning on a variety of topics taught by world-renowned presenters. Now as part of NAVC SkillShop, courses are designed to be mixed and matched to form your perfect skills-building week. Small classroom sizes mean personalized instruction, allowing you to develop expertise in your topic of study and gain the tools you need to grow your practice.
Topics will be broken into long- and short-format courses with the ability to mix and match different offerings. Long-format course options include soft tissue surgery, basic or intermediate ultrasonography, orthopedic surgery, anesthesia for the practice team, and RECOVER CPR instructor certification. Short-format course options include basic soft tissue surgery; avian, reptile, and exotic companion animal care; general and management leadership skills; and RECOVER CPR rescuer certification.
