WELCOME RECEPTIONSUNDAY, MAY 20 • 6:00 - 8:00 PM


Course DescriptionAlmost 60% of clients have questions about their dog’s or cat’s behavior during any visit, and research indicates that most of these questions go unanswered. This course was created to bridge the gap between need and knowledge. This is an applied behavioral medicine course designed to allow practitioners to go home and start working with patient behaviors that they might have previously avoided. All instructors are present for all lectures and labs because discussion, demonstration and practical application is at the core of this course. During lectures, instructors provide the theoretical basis for understanding the etiology of behavioral pathology within the context of a stepwise approach to patient workup and treatment. The labs are specifically designed to teach hands-on observational, interventional and feardiminishing handling skills. The use of video cases, combined with the interactive format for which this course is renown, will provide the practitioner with skills that are immediately useful. Participants, especially those who are taking the course for a 2nd or 3rd time, are invited to bring questions and short case synopses and videos for discussion. This is an intense, rigorous, intellectually stimulating and fun course designed to renew the curiosity that will help practitioners forge new and courageous skills benefiting their patients and clients. This course is updated annually, with a changing focus on core topics so that participants can retake this course as often as they’d like. Our goal is to change the way medicine is practiced to benefit everyone’s mental health in a kinder, gentler and more informed, scientifically grounded setting.

Learning ObjectivesAfter completing this program, you will be able to::• Recognize and identify the range of behaviors associated with normal through

distressed behavioral states and identify patterns of behavioral association present in common behavioral pathologies.

• Differentiate and define the neurodevelopmental periods and apply this knowledge to case management and problem prevention.

• Match and demonstrate behavioral modification and other interventions, including medication, which will aid in resolving behavioral pathologies in both cats and dogs.

• Analyze which pharmacological interventions are most suitable for each patient, treat patients and monitor resultant outcomes.

• Interpret problematic behavioral patterns in a manner that will persuade and aid clients in prevention, early intervention, and treatment of the most common behavioral issues.

• Understand that behavior is something that needs to be evaluated for every patient at every visit and that you are the front line in preserving or enhancing the mental health of patients whether they are hospitalized or outpatients.

Course DescriptionDo you enjoy complex cases? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the information provided by diagnostic tests? In Deciphering Diagnostics, we combine the perspectives of a clinical pathologist, radiologist and an internist to provide insights into selecting, implementing and interpreting diagnostic tests in the context of complex clinical cases. The course will use a case-based format, beginning with obtaining an effective history and physical exam, and covering hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, endocrine testing, cytology, thoracic and abdominal radiography, as well as ultrasound. We will use images, videos, slides and small group discussions to review diagnostic tests and solve clinical mysteries. We encourage you to send in your cases for review as well! Once you have registered, you will receive information on how to submit your cases, including diagnostics, for selection in our Puzzle Pot Pourri sessions (think “Stump the Chumps” for veterinarians). See you in May!

Learning ObjectivesAfter completion of this course, you will be able to:• Recognize situations in which information from a medical history or physical exam

should directly influence the choice or interpretation of specific clinical pathologic or diagnostic imaging tests.

• Appraise the relative value of specific types of abnormalities identified from client communication, patient evaluation, clinical pathology testing and diagnostic imaging in helping to generate appropriately prioritized problem and differential diagnosis lists.

• Formulate appropriate diagnostic plans including clinical pathologic and/or diagnostic imaging tests based on an understanding of the balance between potential clinical utility, limitations, and complications.

• Recognize and interpret abnormalities identified on a complete blood count, biochemistry testing, urinalysis, fluid analysis and cytology within the context of a clinical case.

• Review the process for complete and accurate radiographic interpretation of the thorax, abdomen and musculoskeletal system.

• Create and prioritize differential diagnoses and therapeutic plan based on evaluation of diagnostic test results in the context of a clinical case.

Course DescriptionThis 4-day 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. In addition pathology can be added to the organs to give a more realistic ‘feel’ to the procedure. Procedures that you will perform includes enterotomy, intestinal anastomosis, gastrotomy, partial gastrectomy, cystotomy, partial cystectomy, liver biopsy, partial liver lobectomy and rapid splenectomy. We will have two days of canine cadaver procedures and one day of feline surgery techniques. Procedures for the canine labs include laryngeal tie-back, TECA-LBO, forelimb amputation, perineal hernia repair, salivary gland resection, scrotal urethrostomy, chest drain placement, anal sacculectomy, gastropexy and rapid splenectomy. Procedures for the feline lab include nosectomy for squamous cell ca, ventral bulla osteotomy, PU – dorsal approach, chest drain placement and E-tube placement. Video of clinical case material will be used extensively throughout the laboratory to help illustrate each technique.

Learning ObjectivesBy the end of this course participants should have a thorough understanding of:• How to successfully perform a variety of practical soft tissue surgery techniques• Recent developments and new techniques in soft tissue surgery• The instructors’ philosophical and technical views on surgical procedures performed

in the lab• Regional anatomy related to each surgical procedure
