Fee: Vets $475 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $675 Wet lab registration includes lunch. Do you ever struggle with the cause of dyspnea in a cat that is too unstable to take radiographs or draw blood for ProBNP levels (cardiac, respiratory, pleural effusion)? Do you ever debate if you can safely give a patient IV fluids or when you should stop giving IV fluid boluses? Have you ever felt frustrated not finding a cause for patients presenting for “ain’t doing right” with no specific clinical signs? Veterinary pointof-care ultrasound (VPOCUS) can help you manage these patients! VPOCUS techniques are rapid, easyto-learn and practical ultrasound skills that ANY practitioner can apply in everyday practice. VPOCUS is commonly used as a patientside diagnostic tool to rapidly identify underlying conditions and help direct further diagnostics and therapy. VPOCUS has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of abdominal effusions; other abdominal applications; and several thoracic, vascular and cardiac pathologies. Through four hours of comprehensive and interactive lectures with several case examples, followed by a three-and-a-half hour, hands-on laboratory on live animals, participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice the skills of VPOCUS. In addition, vascular access techniques using ultrasound will be discussed and practiced on a phantom chicken breast model.

Co-instructor: Jessica Barrera, DVM, MS, DACVS-SA With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $695 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $895 Wet lab registration includes lunch. This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of practical orthopedic surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures but emphasis will be placed on the technical aspects used to perform each procedure thus maximizing time in the lab. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and stifle arthrotomy, extracapsular stabilization for ruptured ACL and femoral head and neck excision. Video of cadaver dissection and clinical case material will be used extensively throughout the laboratory to help.

This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of soft tissue surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures but emphasis will be placed on the technical aspects used to perform each procedure thus maximizing time in the lab. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and include salivary gland resection, scrotal urethrostomy, chest drain placement, 10-minute gastropexy, anal sacculectomy and laryngeal tie-back. Video of cadaver dissection and clinical case material will be used extensively throughout the laboratory to help illustrate each technique.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $475 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $675 Wet lab registration includes lunch. This seminar series and combined wet lab will introduce the veterinarian to entry-level abdominal ultrasound imaging in the small animal practice. The seminar consists of four, 50-minute lectures. The basic physics, an overview of instrumentation, common artifacts and scanning techniques will be reviewed as well as normal anatomy and appearance of the abdominal organs. Wet lab participants will be introduced to basic ultrasound image manipulation (knobology), the physics and artifacts of abdominal ultrasound, scanning techniques and how to identify normal abdominal structures through the scanning of live animals.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Techs $95 Wet Lab Only Fee: Techs $150 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 intraoral radiograph using the latest stateof-the-art equipment taught by some of the most highly-trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry. There is a low teacher to 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 intraoral dental radiography because it imitates real life patients without the stress of having to monitor anesthesia while trying to learn at the same time.

Fee: Vets $475 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $675 Wet lab registration includes lunch. This seminar series and combined wet lab are designed for veterinarians who want to further their training in small animal ultrasound. Lectures will briefly review ultrasound physics and artifacts and assist the participants in finetuning the image. Normal intra-abdominal structure will be reviewed and abnormal intra-abdominal 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. Attendees will have an opportunity to address personal areas of concern in their understanding of abdominal ultrasound scanning techniques.

AAS, CVT, VTS (Dentistry) Assisted by: Summer O’Connor, AAS, VTA Katie Holthusen, CVT, VTS (Dentistry) With Conf. Reg. Fee: Techs $95 Wet Lab Only Fee: Techs $150 A lecture explains instrument handling, cleaning, and sharpening; the importance of proper cleaning technique; and probing and charting. Following is a detailed, hands-on wet lab that provides instruction on the proper way to do a complete dental prophylaxis and oral examination including accurate charting. Taught by some of the most highly-trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry, attendees will learn how to properly handle instruments using the latest state-of-the-art equipment. 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 technique 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.
