Organisers of the annual Hill’s Global Symposium are promising to give veterinary professionals access to leading subject matter experts and cutting-edge sessions.

The free online event will take place on 29 September, and will focus on topics including canine and feline dermatology; diagnosis, causes and contributing factors; science-based approaches; and nutrition-based support for prevention, treatment and care.

This year’s symposium will be broadcast live from Hill’s Small Paws Innovation Center in Kansas and will be co-hosted by Hill’s CVO (US) Karen Shenoy, and board-certified dermatologist, Ashley Bourgeois.

Dermatology skills

In addition to Dr Bourgeois, the line-up of 13 speakers includes veterinary dermatologists – including National Geographic vet Joya Griffin – as well as board-certified veterinary nutritionists.

The scientific agenda will be complemented by lectures focused on practical clinical dermatology skills, featuring presentations by veterinary technician specialists (VTS) in dermatology.

Sessions include

The symposium will have sessions including:

  • Approach to the pruritic pediatric canine patient
  • Dietary management of cutaneous adverse food reactions
  • Pruritus in puppies
  • Quantified health (wearables)
  • Diagnostic testing for dermatology patients
  • Case-based dermatology patient examples

New diet

After the live event concludes, sessions will be made available for on-demand viewing at hillsglobalsymposium.com .

Hill’s Global Symposium 2022 will take place from 2pm to 11pm GMT – to register and see a complete list of speakers and schedule of sessions, visit: www.hillsglobalsymposium.com 

In addition, Hill’s will introduce its new prescription diet – Diet Derm Complete Puppy – formulated to help reduce allergic responses, including licking, scratching, head shaking and skin redness in growing dogs.
