With the global impact of COVID-19 and the postponement the 2020 ACVIM North American Neuroscience Course (Brain Camp) until summer 2022, we understand that this is an extremely challenging time for residents and has been very disruptive to resident training. As a result, the ACVIM North American Neuroscience Course (Brain Camp) as an online program.

The ACVIM Brain Camp Online program will consist of 19.5 hours of content, divided into the three courses indicated below. The material will be delivered as 1-hour RACE-approved modules containing pre-recorded lectures, proceedings and assessments. Attendees can access modules from any device and at their own pace.
