3 Rivers Veterinary Symposium

A few reminders and helpful hints as you get ready to join us for this year’s program. Don’t forget to download and login to the 3 Rivers Veterinary Symposium conference app Whova, to maximize your conference experience.

Through Whova, you'll be able to:

• Review and build your own agenda, and learn more about the session speakers.
• Engage with exhibitors and other event attendees. Earn points and win prizes through gamification, a networking tool to help collaborate, share, and interact with others.
• Participate in photo contests, ice breakers, and discussion boards. Or check out the meet-up options to network with conference attendees.
• Share session feedback through the Whova surveys and feedback tools.
• Before the conference begins, download proceedings for the lectures you would like to attend.

Social Media

Your attendance at the conference demonstrates your commitment to continuing your education and dedication to the veterinary medicine community. Promote your participation and remind your followers about the work done by VetMed in Pennsylvania. Use #3RIVERS23 when you post, so that PVMA can see and possibly share your content!

How Do I Get My CE?

New Procedure This Year!

Session attendance will be tracked more efficiently this year using QR codes! Sign in quickly using the Whova Mobile App or your device’s camera. If you use your phone’s camera to scan the QR check-in code, remember to use the same email address that you used to register.

QR codes will be placed outside of each session room and attendees can check-in as early as 15 minutes before, and no later than 15 minutes after, the session begins. Scanned sessions will be stored in the Whova app, please save a screen shot of the sessions you attend for your records.

Although you can either sign-in digitally using the QR code, or manually using the paper sign-in sheet, the preferred method of sign-in is digitally. This will make tracking your CE credits in the event of an audit more streamlined and efficient.

Certificate of Attendance

Your Certificate of Attendance will be given to you Sunday at the end of the day. Certificates can be picked up at the registration desk. Only attending for one day? Stop by the registration desk before you leave to pick up your certificate.

Important Note...

PVMA is proud to offer continuing education for the entire team, and for this reason not all sessions will count toward your license renewal.

Please be aware that any session labeled "CVPM" on the schedule will not count toward scientific continuing education required for veterinary and technician license renewal. All other sessions qualify for scientific CE. If you are unsure about any sessions, please email Membership@PaVMA.org with your questions, or ask a staff member on-site.
