STAAR Conference
Symposium on Therapeutic Advances in Animal Rehabilitation
April 28 – May 1, 2026 • Hilton, Parsippany, New Jersey, US
STAAR Conference for veterinarians and animal rehabilitation professionals aims to bring to you the most advanced courses in rehabilitation and sports medicine taught by industry leaders and pioneers. Our unique method of education focuses on hands-on, practical experience using live animals. We have a huge network of animal volunteers, which ensures the ability to practice newly learned skills on target populations (e.g., dogs with DM, cruciate insufficiency). Indeed, STAAR is the conference that offers the most hands on, practical training.
What Participants Are Saying
“STAAR provides education one cannot find at national or specialist conferences because of its exemplary educational quality, integration of the many sub-professions involved in veterinary rehab, and the focus on specific, difficult topics. My interactions with a wide range of amazing peers and instructors from all walks of veterinary rehabilitation, sports fitness and conditioning, and physical therapy allowed me to share/gain invaluable information, refined my focus on key learning issues, and led me to explore new treatment regimens for my own patients.”
