The Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association will host an online Continuing Education webinar on “Compounded Medications: What Trainers Need to Know” today, Monday, July 12, from 2-3 p.m. ET. Trainers and assistant trainers who participate will earn one (1) hour of CE credit toward the annual CE requirement. In addition, the webinar will be recorded and posted on the new continuing education website for trainers and assistant trainers, www.HorsemenU.com.
The presentation will feature Dr. Dionne Benson, Chief Veterinary Officer at The Stronach Group Racing and Gaming. Compounded substances are an area of concern for trainers interested in ensuring horse health and avoiding potential regulatory issues. While the use of compounded substances has a place in proper horse care, often they are overused, which increases the risk to horses and trainers alike. This CE will teach trainers the differences between compounded, generic and label medications. Additionally, the potential risks of using compounded medication will be covered.
