This 4-hour lecture/lab will open with an overview of laser technology and its uses in general practice, tricks to get the best clinical results with the laser you have - or plan on getting - and some research on how it works and what it does. Following the lecture, students will participate in an interactive presentation of cases, protocols, and treatments on live canines. The program is open to DVMs (who examine the patient and prescribe treatment) and technicians (who perform the laser treatment).
Cytology is a fun and helpful way to provide immediate information important for patient management. This presentation provides indications, techniques and basic principles of cytology from a clinical pathologist and oncologist’s viewpoint. There will be an initial power point presentation on cytology overview. Immediately following the instructional presentation, attendees will be divided into two groups and will rotate through microscope cases. Clinical cases will also be discussed in an openformat session.

Limited Availability Actual cases of anemic patients will be discussed in a group setting with the use of video microscope projection of the patients’ blood smear. The CBC results obtained from the in house analyzer will be interpreted along with the peripheral blood film findings. Each attendee will have the opportunity to view microscope slides from clinical cases of patients with features of anemia. Clinical recommendations, further testing, prognosis and brief treatment options will be discussed for each case.
