The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) New Bolton Center is pleased to announce two equine short courses. The short courses are intensive, two-day events, presented by the Havemeyer Equine Behavior Lab and the Georgia and Philip Hofmann Research Center for Animal Reproduction. Open to the public, the courses are designed to be of particular value to veterinarians, horse owners, breeders, trainers, handlers, veterinary technicians, veterinary students, and residents in related fields. There is no prerequisite for participation, and each course is valid for 16 hours of continuing education.

Programs include a mix of small group presentations, informal talks, and on-site demonstrations by Sue McDonnell, PhD, Cert. AAB, and colleagues. McDonnell, board certified in applied animal behavior, has traveled worldwide to study the behavior of horses and is the founding head of Penn Vet’s Equine Behavior Program, where her work includes clinical, research, and teaching activities.
