SANSTEP - personalized spay/neuter training
What is SANSTEP?

SANSTEP is a spay/neuter training program aimed at teaching the knowledge and skills needed to perform spay and neuter surgeries on dogs and cats in a safe and proficient manner.  The 3-day program consists of 1 day of lecture sessions followed by 2 days of hands-on surgery on live animals under the direct supervision of a HVHQSN surgeon.  The trainees will become knowledgeable in performing routine and complicated spays and neuters, dealing with intra-operative complications, and treating post-operative complications.

This program has been RACE approved for 20 hrs of CE credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval. 

Why choose SANSTEP?

  • Surgical training on live animals, not cadavers or models.

  • Educational training includes both live lectures/videos and live hands-on surgery in one program.

  • Presentation notes provided with program, not purchased separately.

  • Dogs AND cats, not just cats.  Most vets are challenged by large dog spays so training on dogs is important.

  • Out of state licensed veterinarians do not have to obtain a temporary California license to participate.

  • 3-day CE program is conducted in 3 consecutive days (a "long weekend"); convenient to out-of-area attendees.

  • SANSTEP can be tailored to the attendee's level of experience and/or learning objectives.

  • Offered to any type of veterinarian, not just animal welfare, shelter, or HVHQSN vets.

Where is SANSTEP?

SANSTEP's training location is in southern California in the city of Wildomar, right off the I-15 freeway.  We are just a few minutes from quaint "Old Town Temecula" and wine country.  The nearest airports are Ontario International Airport 37 mi north and San Diego International Airport 60 mi south.

When is SANSTEP offered?

SANSTEP is offered one weekend (Friday - Sunday) a month.

* We are currently booking 4 months in advance.  If the programs are full, please check back next month, or if you would like to be added to the waitlist to be notified as soon as new program dates are available, please email info@sanstep.org or click the waitlist button: 

Who can enroll in SANSTEP?

Any veterinarian with an active license in any state within the United States or Canada can participate in SANSTEP.  Whether you are newly out of vet school or an experienced veterinarian who wants to improve your spay/neuter skills, this program will provide you with tips and tricks to tackle even the most complicated surgeries like the dreaded geriatric obese canine spay.   Veterinarians are required to carry professional liability insurance (such as AVMA's PLIT).  A max of 2 trainees will be enrolled for each 3-day program.  Due to the limited number of available spots per program, we recommend that you enroll and secure your desired date before making travel reservations.

How much does SANSTEP cost?

The 3-day SANSTEP program costs $1395 per attendee.  Travel and accommodation expenses are not included.
