March 29 at 1:00 AM - April 14 at 3:00 AM (CET)

OVERVIEW

The VTNE Study Series, sponsored by ISVMA, is unique in that it allows
individuals to study for the exam and to learn from and about the most popular
study course providers. Each session provides the unique component of having
leading study review companies teach each session, which allows you, the student
to learn from experts and, in some cases, view how they teach. It is one-stop
research and a demonstration of leading review companies. Topic review subject
areas will include: Equine and Ruminants, Nursing, Anesthesia and Pain
Management, Dentistry, Math & Exotics and Clin Lab. The sessions will kick off
with advice on how to take the exam. There will also be a presenters panel to
help guide you through the many career options for a licensed technician.
