ABC's Education Station

It is clear that when you walk into a veterinary clinic that some sort of education has taken place.  The Duodenum is what?! But do you know exactly how much education your veterinary staff goes through?  Veterinary medicine is a constantly evolving field, and if you aren't keeping up with what's called Continuing Education (CE), you aren't going to have the information that is most current.  Below, listed by staff member, is a list of all of the CE we've gone to.  Enjoy!  For sake of keeping things current, listed below is 2 years worth of education.
