What are APVMA Regional Symposia?
A Regional Symposium is a smaller region-based conference involving pre-veterinary clubs. These are often open to not only post-secondary education students, but also high school students. Similar to the APVMA National Symposium, these smaller symposia will have lectures and wet labs available for students without the long distances to travel!
