STAAR Conference
Symposium on Therapeutic Advances in Animal Rehabilitation
April 30 – May 2, 2025 • 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.
STAAR 2023
Thank you to all who attended STAAR 2023 Conference! Our first year back since 2019 felt like a long-awaited family reunion. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends and to make new ones. We had over 200 attendees – 104 professional participants, 26 vendors, 47 dog handlers, 78 dog volunteers, 16 intensive hands-on workshop labs, and 7 incredible instructors over a 4-day period. It felt so good to be back and we hope the feeling translated to all those who joined us.
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.”
