Timothy Holt, DVM, Associate Professor, Veterinary Medicine, Colorado State University, will be our after lunch speaker. He will discuss:

• Most Common Mistakes Breeders Make
• Acupuncture

Dr. Tim Holt graduated Veterinary School in 1988 from Colorado State University. Following graduation, he joined a mixed animal practice in Gunnison, Colorado, and was there until 2003. At that time he decided to come to the Front Range and accepted a clinical instructor position at CSU Veterinary Medical Center in the Food and Fiber Animal Section. He made the move because this position combined his two professional passions, ceterinary medicine and teaching. Dr. Holt began to apply complementary care techniques to patients in his mixed animal practice in 1999 while working in Gunnison. "Acupuncture and manual therapy can be integral adjunct treatments in combination with western medicine" say Dr. Holt. Besides his clinical patient care and senior veterinary student teaching responsibilities he is often lecturing around the state to various organizations about complementary medicine.

 

There will be a question and answer period with Dr. Holt at the conclusion of his presentation.

This should be a great informational meeting and a great chance to catch up with fellow ABR members.
