Meeting 2023 - Abstract Submission
With the effort and support of attendees of the SouthEastern Veterinary Neurology conference, our meeting has become an exciting venture in an effort to create a platform for improving our diagnostic and therapeutic approaches through collaborative study.
Abstract presentations are the centerpiece of our meeting. We encourage all attendees to consider submitting an abstract. Abstracts may include case reports, techniques, complete projects, or preliminary results of an ongoing study. Additionally, abstracts may be used as a "call for study" wherein the presentation serves as a springboard for the development of a study proposal.
