The Business of Practice

The ultimate success of your practice depends on much more than your clinical skills. The Business of Practice sessions focus on the non-medical aspects of practice that are essential to a healthy bottom line.

How-to

Expand your skills repertoire during these focused sessions that walk you step-by-step through procedures that have been successfully deployed by your colleagues. At the conclusion of each presentation, you’ll be armed with the information you need to critically evaluate the technique and determine whether or not to implement it in your practice.

In-Depth

Dig deeper into important topics within equine veterinary medicine during In-Depth sessions. These sessions tend to feature fewer but longer presentations, enabling a thorough and comprehensive exploration of key components of the subject topic.

Table Topics

Enlist the knowledge and experience of your colleagues to work through common challenges and identify solutions within specific areas of equine medicine during Table Topics. These facilitated discussions are informal but highly informative, and draw upon the collective expertise of all attendees.

Veterinary legend Dr. G. Marvin Beeman will share the lessons he’s learned about practice and life during his nearly 60 years as a horse doctor when he delivers the keynote address. From staying enthusias-tic about your career to sharing your passion with those who follow in your footsteps, Dr. Beeman’s wisdom will resonate with his colleagues of all ages.

Born on the Highlands Ranch in Colorado, Dr. Beeman’s involve-ment with hunters as a child stoked his interest in veterinary medicine. He earned his veterinary degree from Colorado State University in 1957 and became a founding partner of Littleton Equine Medical Center in Littleton, Colo. He served as president of the practice from 1968 to 1997 and currently holds the title DVM Emeritus. His areas of emphasis include lameness and musculo-skeletal issues.

Throughout his career, Dr. Beeman has contributed to the better-ment of the equine industry and welfare of the horse through the

education of equestrians both nationally and internationally; and through volunteer service with equine organizations and federal, state and local veterinary societies, including a term as AAEP president in 1975.

Dr. Beeman’s unmistakable footprint on the equine industry is no more evident than in the number and diversity of accolades bestowed on him. He is a member of the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame, International Stockman’s Hall of Fame, American Farriers Journal’s International Equine Veterinarian Hall of Fame and Colorado Agricultural Hall of Fame. Just a few of his many awards include the AAEP’s Sage Kester Beyond the Call Award, the American Horse Council’s Distinguished Service Award, National Western Stock Show’s Citizen of the West award and Na-tional Institute for Animal Agriculture’s Meritorious Service Award.

He remains active in the saddle to this day, including as the longtime Joint Master and Huntsman of the Arapahoe Hunt Club and, from 2008-2011, as president of the Master of Foxhounds Association of America.

He is the eldest son of the late Dr. Stephen R. Covey and was a critical component in the strategy that propelled his father’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to be one of the two most influential business books of the 20th century, according to CEO Magazine.

MONDAYDecember 8


On Monday, be inspired to think outside the box to solve

medical mysteries during the Frank J. Milne State-of-

the-Art Lecture. Learn which imaging technique to use for

your specific case during Case-Based Imaging: Any and

All Diseases. Discover the potential benefits of merging

your practice with another and whether it is right for you,

your employees and your clients at The Business of

Practice: Mergers.

Moderator: Stephen M. ReedSponsored by Platinum Performance, “Where Good Nutrition Meets Good Medicine.”

Renowned equine inter-nist Dr. John Madigan will immerse Milne Lecture attendees into the process of infec-tious disease investiga-tion, specifically related to mysterious clusters of fevers of unknown origin and pursuit of causes of colitis symp-toms in adult horses; and specific disorders

of the equine neonate and the science that translates to actions that can be taken by practitioners in the field.

Dr. Madigan is Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Epide-miology at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine, from which he received his veterinary degree in 1975. He is also a clinician in equine medicine and neonatal care in the university’s William R. Pritchard Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

In 1975, Dr. Madigan discovered Anaplasma phagocytophilia infec-tion in Mendocino County, Calif., ultimately leading to a National

Institute of Health grant with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine that described infection in humans and the tick vectors. Madigan’s seminal work elucidating the life cycle and transmission of Neorickettsia risticii (Potomac Horse Fever) revealed the infection was caused by ingestion of aquatic insects and not vectored by ticks or other biting insects.

His contributions to the body of knowledge in equine neonatology includes his most recent research that describes a “failure of transi-tion of consciousness” as a cause for the maladjusted or dummy foal, and he recently proposed a relationship to some human neonatal conditions.

Dr. Madigan has published 160 peer-reviewed scientific publica-tions, authored the 4th edition of the Manual of Equine Neonatal Medicine and has received numerous awards for his contributions to the profession and its collective knowledge.

The Frank J. Milne Lecture debuted at the 1997 convention in Phoenix, Ariz. Named for AAEP past president and distinguished life member Frank J. Milne, the lecture series features state-of-the-art information on subjects and techniques considered important by the equine veterinary profession.

Thanks!A special thanks to AAEP Educational Partner Zoetis for its continued support and sponsorship of the AAEP Foundation Celebration.

Having shared the stage with more than 30 national acts, including Taylor Swift, Alan Jackson and Jason Aldean, country artist Charley Jenkins will command the stage at this year’s AAEP Foundation Celebration with his energy, smooth tone and exceptional guitar skills.

Raised on a Utah farm where he learned to rope and ride, Jenkins was one of 12 finalists out of 45,000 contestants on the 2008 NBC series “Nashville Star.” His critically acclaimed fourth album “Hold On” cleverly blends Jenkins’ western rodeo upbringing into every song. Jenkins and his band will have guests on their feet and on the dance floor!

ExperienceSALT LAKE CITY

Part metro and part mountain, Salt Lake City delivers big-city amenities at an uncommon value, with breathtaking scenery included gratis! Upon arrival, inexpensive light rail service will whisk you from the airport to the city’s convention district, where you will have no shortage of opportunities to supplement daily education with a healthy dose of downtown dining and entertainment.

Raise your glass

Unwind with colleagues at any of the hundreds of restaurants, bars, brewpubs and nightclubs located within or near the convention district. The days of “membership” requirements to enter bars and enjoy a drink are a thing of the past. This is not your father’s Salt Lake City!

Hoop it up

If rim-rattling slam dunks and high-arching three-point shots are your thing, make a fast break to EnergySolutions Arena just two blocks from the convention center to catch the Utah Jazz as they tip off against the NBA’s best.

Shop ’til you drop

The nearby Gateway and the City Creek Center are home to a combined 200-plus stores and restaurants where you can

satisfy your unique tastes in fashion and food. Gather with friends for dinner or knock out some early Christmas shopping.

Kick up some powder

Whether you prefer to meander down the “bunny” slopes or defy gravity on the black diamond trails, enjoy a snow day at any of four world-class ski resorts just 30 minutes from downtown. For more information, go to www.visitsaltlake.com/ski.

Begin planning your Salt Lake City experience at www.visitsaltlake.com.
