WELCOME

We are excited to welcome you again to the beautiful city of Tampa! We invite you to fully enjoy the ambience of the Tampa Convention Center and the Tampa Bay area. The Florida sunshine and cool breezes of springtime in Tampa provide the perfect time for this annual meeting of the Florida Veterinary Medical Association, and we thank you for choosing to join us this year.

This meeting promises to be our best yet as we provide world-class continuing education for the entire veterinary care team. Our program begins on Thursday with a full day of wet labs, followed by lecture sessions, and additional wet labs on Friday and Saturday. The program offers specialized scientific and clinical tracks for the small animal practitioner, topics designed specifically for veterinary technicians, as well as practice management and professional development classes to benefit your team.

We are committed to exceeding expectations in 2019. I’d like to invite you to take time this weekend to enjoy some of the amenities of this exceptional city and remember that this meeting is all about you and your best possible experience. It’s my hope that you will leave the conference energized, refreshed and ready to face the opportunities that await you at home.

Lectures will briefly review ultrasound physics and artifacts, and assist the participants in fine-tuning the image. Normal intra-abdominal structure will be reviewed and abnormal intraabdominal pathology will be emphasized.

Wet lab participants will gain experience in completing a routine small abdominal ultrasound examination, knowledge of normal sonographic anatomy and appearance of commonly identified pathologies. Some of the more challenging intra-abdominal structures to image will be emphasized. Interaction between the radiologist and the participants will be encouraged, and the attendees will have an opportunity to address personal areas of concern in their understanding of abdominal ultrasound scanning techniques.

This laboratory will cover case selection, operative techniques, post-operative care and complications of medial patella luxation surgery.

Participants will learn to perform a stifle arthrotomy, tibial tuberosity transposition and trochleoplasty.

This laboratory will cover case selection, operative techniques, post-operative care and complications of extracapsular repair for cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Participants will learn to perform a stifle arthrotomy, medial meniscal release and extracapsular repair using traditional techniques.

Through a comprehensive and interactive lecture (lots of banter between the two lecturers!) with several case examples followed by a hands-on laboratory on live animals, participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice the skills of VPOCUS. VPOCUS is commonly used as a patientside diagnostic tool to rapidly identify underlying conditions and help direct further diagnostics and therapy. In addition, vascular access techniques using ultrasound will be discussed and practiced on a phantom chicken breast model. Have you ever struggled to place an IV catheter in patients that are dehydrated, have hematomas, thick skin or edema? Ultrasound can help!

This lecture explains instrument handling, cleaning and sharpening; the importance of proper cleaning technique; probing; and charting. Following is a detailed, hands-on wet lab providing instruction on the proper way to do a complete dental prophylaxis and oral examination including accurate charting.

Learn how to properly handle instruments using the latest state-of-the-art equipment taught by some the most highly trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry. There is a low teacher-to-student ratio to ensure everyone receives individual instruction while probing, cleaning and charting the mouth of a dog and cat using cadaver heads. This is the most effective way to learn correct and safe techniques because it imitates real-life patients without the stress of having to monitor anesthesia while trying to learn at the same time.

The lecture also describes landmarks, drug doses, benefits, contraindications and complications of dental regional blocks. Correct placement and administration of local block analgesia is practiced using cadaver heads and skulls until the attendees are comfortable with this skill.

This is a one-hour lecture discussing safety, terminology, normal and abnormal anatomy, basic pathology, and labial mounting of dental radiographs, followed by hands-on training. Learn how to obtain a diagnostic intra-oral radiograph using the latest state-of-the-art equipment taught by some the most highly trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry. There is a low teacherto-student ratio to ensure everyone takes all the images necessary to obtain full mouth radiographs of a dog and cat using cadaver heads. This is the most effective way to learn intra-oral dental radiography because it imitates reallife patients without the stress of having to monitor anesthesia while trying to learn at the same time.
