The ACVNU will conduct an online Journal Club to facilitate the review of recent scientific articles and discuss their implications and relevance to the dynamic field of veterinary nephrology and urology.

Additional information and the featured article for discussion will be posted on the event calendar below, approximately one week before each meeting.

We extend the invitation to join to all and anticipate sessions enriched with critical appraisals and insightful discussions.
