It’s All in
Your Head
A Weekend of Veterinary Neurology, Northern Hospitality & Great Minds
Great minds. Good friends. Northern hospitality.
Whether this is your first NOVA conference or your fortieth, we’re genuinely glad you’re here. NOVA is about more than continuing education: it is friendship, mentorship, advocacy, laughter and supporting veterinary medicine across Northern Ontario.
Conference Tip #1
Hydrate. Your neurons will thank you.
Conference Tip #2
The lesion is rarely where you first think it is. Neither is your room key.
Conference Tip #3
If you’re lost, follow the veterinarians carrying coffee.
