Opportunities in Equine Practice Seminar (OEPS) is the leading student forum in equine veterinary medicine, with over 4,100 students attending since its inception in 2003. The seminar’s career management format offers practice and financial management information for the student and opportunities for practitioners to establish long-term mentoring relationships with the approximately 200 -225 veterinary students attending.

Through OEPS sponsorships, travel and hotel funding are provided for third-year veterinary students to attend the meeting, where they receive information about various avenues and disciplines of equine practice, financial remuneration, employment, practice ownership, and marketing. Students gain valuable information through face-to-face encounters in the Practice Exhibit Hall and presentations from practitioners, financial advisors, and practice management consultants.
