2017 PATH Intl. Region 2 Conference - Call for Abstracts 
March 31 - April 1, 2017 
Crowne Plaza Hotel 
Monroe, NJ

Each year the PATH Intl. Region 2 Conference offers valuable learning opportunities for everyone involved in equine-assisted activities and therapies, including instructors, program administrators, trainers, volunteers, board members, riders, drivers, therapists and other medical professionals. Not only is there a variety of information shared through courses, sessions and other conference events, but attendees also have the opportunity to network with colleagues throughout their region.

Presentations:
Presentations vary and may include, but are not limited to, riding instruction, hippotherapy, equine-facilitated mental health, driving, vaulting and administration. To assist instructors with their renewal we also suggest the addition of sessions focusing on disabilities. Conference abstracts can be of a practical nature and do not need to be based on research.

Deadline is November 9.
