EASAV Membership Information

The Edmonton Association of Small Animal Veterinarians (EASAV)
We have made some changes to our CE rates and opened up a new membership category! EASAV is pleased to announce a new Associate membership category for RVTs, AHTs and out-of-province & unregistered veterinarians (I.e. on extended maternity leave)!
In the past, RVTs attended only full day seminars at member rates. Now, they can purchase an Associate EASAV membership, which will give them access to member rates for evening seminars, full day seminars, wet-labs and recorded seminars! Here are the new CE rates going forward; wet-lab rates now have two price categories (for members & non-members) and vary depending on the wet-lab:
| |
2 hr live & recorded seminars |
5-6 hr live & recorded seminars |
| EASAV members (Voting & Associate) |
FREE |
$105 |
| Non-member RVTs (& AHTs) |
$32 |
$115 |
| Non-member vets |
$32 |
$175 |
