The Equine Medical Center serves as an educational resource for horse owners, veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Our continuing education programs help veterinary professionals stay apprised of leading-edge research and advancements in clinical care.

The Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center next annual equine CE will take place in January 2025. This will be a hybrid event with guests welcome to attend in person or via a webinar link.  Attendees will qualify for up to six hours of continuing education credit. 

There is no charge to attend these webinars, but we ask that you consider supporting either the Equine Medical Center or the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine Compassionate Care Fund, which provides financial assistance to equine owners who are unable to financially support the treatment of serious and/or life-threatening conditions when a successful outcome and good quality of life are likely. 

More details will be available at the end of this year.
