Welcome to NAVC SkillShop, our hands-on veterinary CE event
Welcome to NAVC SkillShop, our long-standing hands-on/immersive veterinary CE learning event!
Formerly known as the NAVC Institute, the NAVC’s longstanding hands-on workshop event is now NAVC SkillShop, with a new look, format, and location. Our reworked hands-on workshops offer more flexibility in learning options at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando.
NAVC SkillShop's courses are designed to be mixed and matched to form your perfect skills-building week. Gain the tools you need to grow your practice.
Hands-on workshops give you the tools you need to grow your skills and expand your talents.
- Immersive Education: Focus your full attention on mastering your craft using hands-on learning techniques in specialized courses.
- Expert Instruction: Learn alongside top experts in the field in an intimate setting to gain valuable one-on-one instruction you won’t find anywhere else.
- Inspiring Experiences: Walk away with renewed knowledge and unique skills that you’ll be able to use immediately.
“Fabulous! The time was incredibly valuable. The ratio of teachers to students was almost perfect and the instructors were very helpful.”
