The Charles Heumphreus Memorial Lecture is an annual event that has been offered free to farriers and equine veterinarians since 1987. Known simply as “The Heumphreus,” it is the first endowed lecture at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and has attracted an impressive list of farrier and veterinary speakers over the past 33 years. The endowment was founded by Dr. Tim O’Brien, UC Davis emeritus faculty radiologist, to honor Charlie’s 18 years of service as the farrier at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.
The 2019 Heumphreus Lecture will explore the core concepts of anatomy, form and function from the perspectives of the farrier and veterinarian. Our distinguished speakers include Southern California farrier, Tim Shannon, who will present “Anatomy Decoded” and Colorado veterinarian, Dr. Marv Beeman, who will share his ever popular lecture on “The Relationship of Form to Function.” This year’s program is a joint effort of the Center for Continuing Professional Education and the Heumphreus Organizing Committee composed of our resident farrier, Shane Westman, APF, and VMTH clinicians, Drs. Emily Berryhill, Larry Galuppo and Mary Beth Whitcomb (Chair).
