8:30 - 10:00am - Bee Medicine: From Honey to Venom Not only do bees keep our food chain intact through pollination, but they offer us a myriad of sources of medicine. Honey is used both internally for many conditions as well as a topical wound healer. Propolis, Pollen and Royal Jelly are all nourishing and medically active. Lately, there is burgeoning research on the use of bee venom for pain and conditions that are associated with pain, such as arthritis. In this lecture, we will discuss all these great medicines we obtain from bees. (There will be a break) 10:30 - 11:30am - Herbal Antimicrobials There are significant concerns mounting with pharmaceutical antimicrobials: antibiotic resistance, antifungal liver toxicity, etc. Plants are a wonderful alternative to these problems. In this lecture, we will discuss how plants avoid these issues and which plants work for which conditions and why. Case examples will be presented. Lunch 11:30am - 1:00pm 1:00 - 2:00pm - Herbal Antimicrobials (cont'd) There are significant concerns mounting with pharmaceutical antimicrobials: antibiotic resistance, antifungal liver toxicity, etc. Plants are a wonderful alternative to these problems. In this lecture, we will discuss how plants avoid these issues and which plants work for which conditions and why. Case examples will be presented. (There will be a break) 2:30 - 4:30pm - Mushrooms Mushrooms are a burgeoning new area of medicine. Learn about how and why as well as the safety of mushroom use. Specific mushrooms will be presented, as well as medicinal applications. |

1-2:30pm 3-4:30pm |
Silent Productivity Killer – Incompetent Leaders Description: Every veterinary practice has them – they may be called the owner, manager, shift leader, lead tech or lead receptionist, even quarterback and coordinator. The issue is not with the title; the issue is with the performance of duties. Identifying failures to perform leadership duties is vitally important for the success of the business. Not to ignore the long list of micro-managing, mean, or narcissistic leaders, an even more common problem is that of the absent leader — the one who avoids the meaningful leadership duties of their position. Learning Objectives:
Lessons from the Trenches to Develop Effective Supervisors Description: Many lead positions in a veterinary practice come about by promoting the person who performs their job well. This does not guarantee that they will also supervise others well. Becoming a supervisor is not merely receiving a title – it requires training in certain skills and learning from experience. Create a supervisor handbook and help your management team be effective supervisors. Learning Objectives:
Workplace Productivity Killers Description: They sneak up on us throughout the day, the text message or email that consumes a few minutes here and there, the office gossip whispered a few times here and there, by the end of the day, a few minutes add up to a few hours. Being aware of productivity killers is the first step, and tackling their voracious appetite of our precious minutes is the next step. Improve your team’s ability to handle the most common time killers and enjoy better productivity. Learning Objectives:
Hold People Accountable Description: Many of the businesses in those docu-reality series deal with a business suffering from poorly orchestrated operations and misdirected strategic plans, but to a larger degree, it showed poor team efficiency and lack of accountability. This session will present common issues with team accountability and will offer options to rescue the hospital and improve team performance. This session will cover how to effectively utilize information from other hospital rescues to assess your own hospital; develop an action plan to boost team efficiency; and gain a deeper understanding of accountability snafus and how to mitigate the risk. Learning Objectives:

How to Find Balance Between What Your Team Wants & What the Business needs, by Louise S. Dunn Description: There is a fine line between wants and needs. In your veterinary practice, the team presents wants – wants for comp & benefits, working conditions, continuing education, patient care, etc. The business must assess these wants against the needs of the business – needs for profitability, accountability, and transforming operations. Reduce the internal struggle and find balance. Learning Objectives:
A Case Study in Making a Practice Healthy, by Louise S. Dunn Description: When a pet is presented for an exam at your practice how do you proceed through the exam? For most of us, it is via an organized exam of each system. When you sit down to examine your practice’s health (i.e. business performance) do you have an organized procedure or is it haphazard? Gather the tools to examine your own practice’s health in an organized, systematic way by going through an actual case study. Learning Objectives:
Practice Financial Health + Treating the Financial Diseases (2hr) by David McCormick Learn what makes a veterinary practice financially healthy and how to assess the financial health of your business. This session will also provide industry benchmarks needed to diagnose financial diseases and what to do to improve your practice's financial health. Practice Value & Planning A Sale (1hr) by David McCormick This session reveals how practices are valued and what the key components to value are. It will also talk about the difference between fair market value and the corporate pricing. The difference can be dramatic - as long as you are ok with the strings that are attached. It will conclude with what you need to know about selling your practice - now or in the future. |

It is not a small thing when gathering your CE credits that the meetings be orderly, well presented, convenient, accessible. Cudos to the Colonial Team. It was an all-around good experience.
Rob McBrayer, DVM | Palmetto Vet Hospital, Ridgeland, SC
What our Exhibitors Say!
I have been a equipment manufacturing design consultant for Snyder Mfg. for over 30 years. I have been attending the Ralph Lee's meetings for over 20 years of that time. The Ralph Lee's meetings are different than the standard veterinary conference meetings that are available. The meetings are designed to be very family friendly. The attendees and exhibitors are treated with more respect than any other of the veterinary meetings I attend. The smaller venue will also give everyone an opportunity to build long term relationships in the industry.
Ralph Ihde | Snyder Mfg., New Sharon, IA
What our Attendees Say!
I plan each year's continuing education requirements around Ralph Lee's Great Smokies Veteirnary Conference. The program venue is especially nice, this time of year, in Asheville, N.C. The Lee family (Howie, Martha and the crew) are most accommodating. They've always made this a pleasurable, meaningful experience. I secure a copy of the conference notes each trip. These notes serve as valuable information for me as I care for my patients on a daily basis. The saddest part, for me, is when the meeting concludes. Soon, I'll be planning for the 2016 conference.
Dr. William “Bill” Martin | Central Veterinary Hospital, Knoxville, TN
What our Exhibitors Say!
The Lees' vet meetings are some of the best...and I attend a lot of them! As both a veterinarian and an exhibitor I get the best of both worlds at these events.... Great Continuing Education and Great attendance to the exhibit booth. I attend every one I possibly can.
