ANC March Newsletter – Education, Innovation & Inspiring Recovery Stories

Every month at ANC, something remarkable happens — and March was no exception.

This edition digs into one of the most important conversations in veterinary medicine right now: who’s training the next generation of doctors, and whether we’re doing enough. Dr. Wininger shares his take, and it’s worth a read.

Then there’s Bacchus — a terrier mix who arrived at our doors in agony, stumped multiple veterinarians, and walked out pain-free after a diagnosis and surgery that changed everything. His story is a reminder of why we do this work.

We also recap Dr. Wininger’s 12-hour CE marathon at WVC 2026 (including the lecture where the technology failed and things got unexpectedly theatrical), introduce our industry partner Artemedics and the engineering behind complex spinal surgery, and hand out the Cutest Patient Award to a Husky named Nanuk who gave the performance of a lifetime.

Clinical pearls, big recoveries, exciting upcoming events, and a standing ovation. It’s all inside.
