AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners)
Today, AAEP veterinarians carry the AAEP charter to maintain and improve the health and welfare of the horse. Renowned as the most prestigious and comprehensive equine veterinary meeting, the AAEP annual convention and the published proceedings of its professional sessions are in demand throughout the equine and veterinary industries. As a result of its commitment to excellence in continuing education for members, the AAEP is expanding its communications base. With great advancement in diagnostics, surgery, preventative medicine, and reproduction, the AAEP is aggressively addressing animal welfare, medication, and injury issues. The AAEP is concerned with the public image of the equine veterinary profession. Improvements in ethics and standards, practice management and owner education continue to be important issues for AAEP members. The equine practitioner commands a strong position and an authoritative voice within the equine industry today, and the AAEP strives to enhance this position.

If you want to learn more about equine practice, the AAEP is your best resource. To go directly to the AAEP externship site, visit http://www.aaep.org/avenues_search.php, or visit the main website at www.aaep.org.
