COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is primarily aimed at the new DVM/VMD graduate who is faced with ER work, although any veterinarian (VIN member) is welcome to enroll. The bare essentials of common ER cases will be covered with an emphasis on real-world techniques, tips and tricks to get you (and your patients) through the night unscathed!
There will be minimal emphasis on pathophysiology and a strong emphasis on diagnostic testing, client management, time management and therapy for various common emergencies. Common mistakes will be highlighted so YOU don't make them and common pitfalls will be mentioned so YOU can avoid them.
Many revelations will be made and many long-held beliefs will be shattered. This will be a whirlwind magical tour through the whimsical world of blood and guts ER stuff! Wear your running shoes! This is the opposite of the Ivory Tower - think of it as the Ebony Tower.
