Dr. Johnson is an internationally recognized expert on respiratory medicine. Lynelle contributes to all the major veterinary texts and is a frequent speaker at both the national and international meetings.  Lynelle is a frequent IVS speaker, where she has presented practical seminars

Dr. Maggs expertise at presenting practical and informative seminars has led to invitations to speak throughout the nation. He also contributes to the veterinary texts and is also a consultant for online services.

Both Drs Johnson & Maggs work with practicing veterinarians daily and have vast experiences that enable them to distill the questions from their general practitioner colleagues into short practical answers.  We have all been to meetings where you already know 45 minutes of the material in a 50 minute lecture but have to wait until the very end to get the new information!  In this seminar series, Drs. Johnson and Maggs have identified approximately 4-6 frequently asked questions to be answered per lecture session.  Those questions will then be answered succinctly in approximately 10 minutes per question to allow for time for discussion amongst the group.  The pace is rapid and so the CE is never boring!
