This
basic course geared toward new grads looking for practical guidance
as they venture forth into the unpredictable world of veterinary medicine but can be useful
to those already experienced with ER work.
VIN CE Course: Open to ALL recent grads and VIN members.
This course is approved by RACE for veterinarians. (RACE 22-30091)
Course Information:
You recently were or soon will be diagnosed with a new condition -- DOCTOR!
The transition from NOT doctor to THE doctor is a scary one. You don't know
it yet, but you already know a lot and are ready to do this. You have the
knowledge and many of the skills. Transforming that competence into confidence
is the next big step in your journey.
"Getting Thru the Night" Part III is the third of a series of 3 CE modules
offered yearly FREE to new graduates, thanks to the VIN Foundation. The VIN Foundation:
http://vinfoundation.org
is committed to helping you (and all new graduates) feel supported as you journey
into and through our profession. As part of this commitment to the new grad,
the VIN Foundation is covering your enrollment fee.
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.

- understand and be comfortable with many common ER diseases and their management.
- develop more confidence in general ER case management.
