STAAR is back! 

 

No other conference provides more practical, hands-on experience than STAAR.  In 2019, over 80 dogs participated as volunteers for STAAR workshops.  Practical experience on live animal patients is critical for learning skills related to rehabilitation and physical therapy.

 

Walk away with the knowledge and skills you can apply immediately and with confidence to your animal patients.

"STAAR provides education one cannot find at national or specialist conferences because of its exemplary educational quality, integration of the many sub-professions involved in veterinary rehab, and the focus on specific, difficult topics. My interactions with a wide range of amazing peers and instructors from all walks of veterinary rehabilitation, sports fitness and conditioning, and physical therapy allowed me to share/gain invaluable information, refined my focus on key learning issues, and led me to explore new treatment regimens for my own patients."
