VetPD has combined an exhilarating week-long safari experience at the Mongena Game Lodge**** in the Dinokeng Game Reserve, near Johannesburg, South Africa, with a total of 25 hours of safaris and 21 hours of cutting-edge lectures / case discussions for attendees to choose from. The following internationally renowned speakers will be involved with this event and are aiming their lectures at experienced general and advanced practitioners: Drs. Jörg Steiner (USA), Eva Schnabl-Feichter (Austria) & Elizabeth Rozanski (UK).
The Dinokeng Game Reserve is a malaria-free game reserve, 1 hours' drive from Johannesburg International Airport. There the ‘Big Five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard & rhinoceros) roam wild and free in the 21,000-hectare game reserve. Bass fishing and the obligatory swimming pool will provide you with the ideal environment to relax with your friends and accompanying partner/guest. The lectures will be held at Mongena Game Lodge. Guests will be staying at one of the following stunning Lodges within the Dinokeng Game Reserve, a short scenic drive from Mongena Game Lodge: Little Mongena and Chameleon Bush Lodge.
From Mon – Thu there will be a total of 4-5 hrs of sunrise- and sunset safaris per day and the lectures will be held between 10.15am – 3.30pm. Every day attendees can choose from several streams of highly illustrated lectures (in English) on a wide range of current orthopaedic, emergency & critical care & surgical topics. The evenings will be free for leisurely wining and dining, to meet up with old friends and to make new ones.
During the event open and frank discussions are encouraged and the speakers will share their personal experiences with attendees, be it successes or failures. There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss diagnostic/therapeutic strategies and cases with the speakers during the lectures or the dedicated case discussions.
The following topics will be covered:
Internal Medicine
