WVC Vegas 2026 Education: NEW Life Stages Track

WVC Vegas 2026 will offer you and your teams NEW ways to build confidence with expanded education tracks, new side-quests, and more in-depth hands-on CE at our Education Centers in Las Vegas.

A typical day in practice might start with the excitement of welcoming new life, and end with the compassion required to help a family say goodbye. It’s a profound responsibility, and one you carry with care every single day. With this understanding, our WVC Education Team created the Veterinary Life Stages CE track, a four-day, case-based journey designed to tackle challenges at each stage of a companion animal's life.

What is the Life Stages track?

This education track mirrors the real-life arc of patient care, offering sessions that walk you through challenges in all stages of a pet’s life: birth, growth, adulthood, and end-of-life support. Led by top veterinary experts and packed with practical strategies, this is one you’ll want to check out this Feb. 2026.

The Four-Day Journey

🔹 Day 1: Theriogenology & Neonatal Care

Start where life begins, exploring prenatal diagnostics, high-risk deliveries, and neonatal ICU advances. Perfect for those passionate about reproductive health and saving the smallest patients when it matters most.

🔹 Day 2: Pediatrics

Dig into early-life challenges with a focus on vaccines, congenital diseases, nutrition, behavior, and growth milestones. Learn how to spot early signs of disease before they become lifelong complications.

🔹 Day 3: Mid-Life Medicine & Megaesophagus

When pets hit their prime, complexities emerge. This day highlights a multidisciplinary approach to megaesophagus, featuring surgery, neurology, and internal medicine. Walk away with collaborative tools that elevate care for adult patients.

🔹 Day 4: Geriatrics & End-of-Life Care

Wrap up your journey with strategies for supporting aging patients and their families. From pain management and cognitive decline to grief counseling and caretaker burnout, you'll gain the confidence to guide clients with compassion and clarity.
