Criteria

1. The conference can be anywhere, but the subject must be relevant to the mission of the Med-Vet-Net Association:

Preference will be given to attendance at conferences covering topics not covered within the EJP, so as to extend opportunity and provide additional value to the Med-Vet-Net Association.
