Date: Sunday, March 3rd 2024
The Frank W Jordan Seminar was established to honor Dr. Frank W Jordan on the campus of KSU and to provide financial assistance to promote continuing education for the College of Veterinary Medicine. Each year this seminar is offered free, with the option to purchase proceedings and a meal.
In 2024 the seminar was hosted in a hybrid format presented face-to-face and virtually. Those attending in person were at Kansas State University, in the BI Auditorium. Those participating virtually received additional information on accessing the CE a week before the event. The 2024 Frank W Jordan Seminar was focused on Pain Management and featured 6 CE credits.
Sessions were recorded and will be posted on the K-State Online CE Program after processing.
