Got a Curve Ball Rehab Case? Rehab Rounds Welcomes It!
Rehab Rounds are one of IGNITE’s most popular programs and the gates are open for submission of new cases for consideration.
In a common veterinary education format, Rehab Rounds examine all facets of an injury or condition affecting a sport horse.
