Background
The Mather Lecture Series was developed to honor Dr. George Mather, a pioneer in small animal geriatrics and pediatrics, who was also recognized as an international authority on toxicological disease of companion animals. The series provides useful and progressive information intended to be incorporated into private sector patient care delivery systems. Continuing education program content is chosen by the Veterinary Clinical Science department of the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine which requires that all of its professional education is evidence-based and unbiased.
Goals
There are four (4) goals of the Mather Lecture Series:
1. improve patient care by providing evidence-based information and relevant research
2. provide useful and progressive information to incorporate into patient care systems
3. provide the opportunity to discover new procedures and techniques
4. hear about specific services and meet new faculty
