What are VIN Rounds?
VIN Rounds cover many topics in clinical medicine and practice management. You can drop in, learn from the experts leading the conversation, contribute your own questions and insights, and learn from other VINners.

Rounds with specific focus include:

• AAFP and VECCS Rounds focus on feline and emergency medicine topics, respectively.
• The VIN Journal Club leads you through analyzing a journal article.
• How-To Rounds help you get the most out of VIN tools and features.
• Last but not least, if you need to bounce ideas off your colleagues or let off some pressure, the Tuesday evening Venting Over a Venti sessions may be just what the doctor ordered.

Can't make it to rounds or missed one you wanted to see? No problem! Audio, video, and written transcripts are available soon after every rounds presentation. Jump over to the Rounds Page to see recent rounds or search for prior rounds topics. Find how to be reminded of upcoming sessions here.
