The "moment of truth" and a big fear of most new grads is when they face their first emergencies -- day or night. Be prepared and confident. Bookmark and review the archives of the VIN Foundation supported CE class for new grads -- Getting Through the Night. New or not so new grad, you'll find these materials entertaining and helpful.

You'll also enjoy and benefit from archives of the sister class -- Getting Through the Day. And it's not too late to sign up for the upcoming sessions which open 11/17/2014 -- FREE for new grads and those graduating in 2014. Keep an eye on the Course Catalog to enroll.

Although it's not just part of the Student Center, the VIN Virtual Clinic can help you hone your clinical skills in a risk-free environment and experience some of those difficult cases before you face them in real life. The Virtual Clinic also records your performance on each patient, so you can track your progress.

Dog With Intermittent Exercise-Induced Subcutaneous Swelling Caused By Mast Cell Tumor
The owner ran her up and down the block to get the lump to appear and it did. We were able to get an aspirate and saw many granular cells and lots of granules in the background. It's looking like a mast cell tumor.
