SUMMARY:Online Course - Starts 3/1/21 - RAT™: Relationship Assessment Tool - Certification Course with Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:RAT™ is a rapid assessment tool that provides clear information about each relationship. Whoever they may be\, in every relationship the handler brings his or her habits\, personalities\, needs and style to interact with the dog\, who also brings his own personality\, patterns of response\, needs and style. We need to work with the whole package. \nRAT™ clearly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of any dog/handler team. Training Triage helps you prioritize and develop a sensible\, targeted training plan for improving and strengthening the relationship. Put your training time\, energy and resources into addressing the actual issues\, not following a one-size-fits-all training plan. RAT™ is a must-have tool that streamlines your training so that you can be as effective\, humane and customized as possible. \nGrounded in detailed observations\, RAT™ can be used for initial assessment as well as for monitoring progress over time or situations. RAT™ can be done in almost any setting to gather critical information about the dog/handler team. \nRAT™ is ideal for trainers\, instructors\, shelter workers\, rescue groups\, veterinarians\, vet techs\, breeders\, service dog trainers\, AAI/AAT and anyone interested in understanding and enhancing the dog/human relationship. \nSuzanne Clothier\, Instructor \nBegins March 1\, 2021 \nCEUs pending \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/rat-assessment

SUMMARY:Online Course - 3/4/21 - CARAT™: Ethology of the Individual - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss CARAT last time? Here’s your chance to join us and find out why people say\, “CARAT changes everything!” \nCARAT is a novel temperament assessment system that categorizes behavior traits in multiple components that are intuitive and practical. CARAT is truly a game changer that will alter how you assess\, understand and work with dogs. \nCARAT takes a detailed view of the individual dog as a unique combination of many factors working together to influence\, exacerbate\, mitigate and enhance each other. In the profile created by the nuances and specifics of this complex interaction of multiple traits\, an accurate picture is created of the individual\, regardless of breed or age. \nAt all times\, behavior is assessed according to how productive\, functional\, or adaptive it may be\, with a full understanding that what may be productive\, functional or adaptive in one context may not be in another context. For example\, there would be great differences in the CARAT profiles for a successful guide dog\, competitive agility dog and a suitable companion for an elderly person with mobility issues. \n  \nWhat Does CARAT Assess? \nCARAT looks at these main categories and specifics of temperament traits: \n\nCORE:  Arousal\, Resilience\, Energy\nSOCIAL: Sociability\, Social Tolerance\, Social Use of Space\nSENSORY: Visual\, Auditory\, Kinesthetic\, Olfactory\nPERSISTENCE: Visual\, Auditory\, Kinesthetic\, Olfactory\, Predatory/Chase\nINTERACTIVE:  Patience\, Biddability w/Familiar\, Biddability w/Stranger\nComplex traits:  Social Confidence\, Environmental Confidence\, Self Modulation\n\n  \nThis is an online course\, with all events taking place online through Thinkific & Zoom. The details: \n·      The complete content will be presented in 8 sessions\, each approx 1.5 hours in length. \n·      Upon completion of the course\, access to private CARAT discussion group. \n·      We will release two pre-recorded sessions each week for 4 weeks. \n·      You may watch the recorded sessions any time\, at your convenience. \n·      Q&A Zoom meeting each week. Attend live\, or submit questions ahead of time. \n·      In all cases\, the Q&A sessions will also be recorded. Link provided to those recordings. \n·      Slides for all presentations will be available for you to download and use for note taking. \n·      The CARAT Introduction Handout will be available for you to download. \n·      You will have access to all online materials for 120 days from start date. \n\n  \nSuzanne Clothier\, Instructor \nBegins March 4\, 2021 – 5 weeks \nFee: $350.00 (Early BirdDog discounts and payment plan available) \nCEUS for IAABC\, PPAB\, CCPDT \n  \nWEB LINK:  https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/carat-spring-2021

SUMMARY:Online Course - 3/18/21 - Community Engagement: The lifesaving philosophy - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:The term “community engagement” gets thrown around a lot\, as if it is something that an officer can do if they have a few extra minutes.  To unlock the full potential of community engagement\, however\, we must start thinking of it as less of a project and more of a state of mind. This lifesaving philosophy will not only help save the lives of animals but could potentially save an officer’s life as well.  In this course you will learn how embracing community engagement as a mindset can\, and will\, increase lifesaving efforts and officer safety. \nJoin us on March 18\, 2021 at 01:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/tools-and-information/e-learning/live-online-training

SUMMARY:Online Course - 3/18/21 - Advanced Return to Owner in the Field: Beyond the Scanner - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Animal control officers play an integral role today in the reduction of shelter intake by choosing to identify and return stray dogs to their families without bringing them into the shelter\, but all too often\, officers stop looking for an owner was they find that the animal has no ID\, tags\, or microchip. This workshop highlights successful efforts from agencies across the country that have shown to significantly increase the field RTO rate for those animals without obvious identification. \nJoin us on March 18\, 2021 at 02:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/tools-and-information/e-learning/live-online-training

SUMMARY:Online Course - Registration open until 4/1/21 or until full - 3/25/21 to 4/30/21 - Point of Care Ultrasound Techniques for the General Practitioner - VIN/VSPN (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This course will cover the key concepts regarding point of care ultrasound (POCUS). POCUS techniques are rapid\, easy-to-learn and practical ultrasound skills that ANY practitioner can apply in everyday practice. This co-lecture series by a criticalist and an internist will cover the core principles to understand and interpret sonographic findings of abdominal POCUS including the identification of free fluid\, urine production\, GI motility\, free abdominal air and the gall bladder halo sign. The core principles to understand and interpret sonographic findings of the pleural space and lung. The principles of cardiac anatomy with an emphasis on the key cardiac windows to assess (there are 3 that answer most clinically relevant questions)\, being able to confidently identify pericardial effusion\, cardiac volume status\, pulmonary hypertension\, and how to differentiate these conditions from common cardiomyopathies will be presented. All clinically relevant questions when asked at the right time\, in a binary fashion\, based on patient assessment! Covering all things that can be used by general practitioners in everyday practice. If you own an ultrasound machine\, there is no excuse to not apply these principles on a daily basis! \nPresenter: Soren Boysen DVM\, DACVECC\nSerge Chalhoub BSc\, DVM\, DACVIM (SAIM)\nCourse Open: March 25-April 30\, 2021\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Thursdays\, April 1\, 8\, 15\, and 22\, 2021; 8:00-10:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 7\nRACE Category: 7 hours Medical \nSkip to Enrollment \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\ndescribe the origins and evolution POCUS.\ndescribe the key formats that currently comprise POCUS.\ndescribe when and where POCUS is used in the clinical setting: understanding the 5 T’s of POCUS.\ndiscuss patient positioning for POCUS and how POCUS differs from consultative ultrasound.\ndiscuss the value of using clinically relevant binary questions to learn and build POCUS skills.\nperform the abdominal point of care ultrasound.\ndescribe the key organs and anatomic locations required to perform abdominal point of care ultrasound.\ndiscuss pitfalls that may result in false negative or false positive abdominal POCUS results.\ndescribe the formula used to calculate urinary bladder volumes.\ndescribe the 3 key findings used to diagnose free abdominal air (pneumoperitoneum).\ndescribe the technique used to sonographically identify post-operative ileus.\nexplain the advantages of using both long and short axis window vs. just one window when performing abdominal POCUS.\ndescribe how the renal pelvis can be assessed to help rule in or rule out ureteral obstruction in patient that presents with azotemia and signs of uremia.\ndescribe the key anatomic structures that are essential to performing pleural space and lung ultrasound.\nidentify the pleural line and determine the presence or absence of a lung sliding (aka the glide sign).\nexplain the normal findings of the bat sign\, gator sign\, A lines\, B lines\, lung pulse and curtain sign.\ndiscuss the advantages of using a binary approach to identifying pathology with point of care ultrasound.\nexplain the limitations of pleural space and lung point of care ultrasound.\nexplain why ultrasound protocols should be modified based on patient positioning and the pathology suspected.\nexplain recent modifications to point of care pleural space ultrasound techniques designed to maximize diagnostic accuracy of pneumothorax.\ndescribe newer approaches to pleural space ultrasound designed to maximize diagnostic sensitivity for pleural effusion.\nexplain the advantage of turning the probe parallel to the ribs vs. keeping it perpendicular to the ribs.\nexplain the sail sign and ski slope sign in relation to positive and negative findings of pleural effusion.\ndescribe how to find lung borders to maximize the chances of finding pleural space pathology based on patient positioning.\nexplain the difference and be able to identify wet lung vs dry lung using ultrasound.\ndescribe the pathophysiology of why lung consolidation can be seen with POCUS.\ndescribe how pleural irregularities can help differentiate causes of wet lung.\nexplain how to differentiate partial lung consolidation from trans-lobar consolidation.\ndescribe the most common types of consolidation and how to differentiate them: shred\, trans-lobar hepatization\, nodule and thromboembolism.\nexplain how the sonographic characteristics of lung consolidation can be interpreted to help differentiate simple atelectasis from pathologic consolidation (static vs. dynamic air bronchograms and fluid bronchograms).\ndescribe the 3 key cardiac windows when performing cardiac POCUS.\ndescribe how the left atrial aortic ratio is used in point of care ultrasound.\ndescribe echocardiographic variables that are used to assess hyper and hypovolemia.\ndescribe windows used to identify pericardial effusion.\nexplain how the pericardial-diaphragmatic window can be used to help differentiate pericardial from pleural effusion.\nexplain how left sided and right sided heart conditions\, including pulmonary hypertension can be subjectively assessed with cardiac POCUS.\ndescribe where to assess fluid responsiveness using POCUS.\nexplain how the caudal vena cava is used to estimate intravascular volume status.\ndescribe the difference between in plane and out of plane ultrasound guided vascular access.\ntie together cardiac POCUS\, lung ultrasound\, and vascular POCUS to estimate and differentiate hypovolemia from volume overload.\n\n  \nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to veterinarians actively interested in veterinary Point of Care ultrasound.\nRACE Accreditation: This course is approved for 7 hours of continuing education credit by RACE for veterinarians. (RACE 20-810782) \n  \nCourse Agenda: \nWeek 1 (Real Time Session April 1\, 2021): Ultrasound definitions\, evolution\, and the binary approach to learning!\nPlease note this session is only 1 hour long: 8:00-9:00 pm ET. All other sessions will be 2 hours long: 8:00-10:00 pm ET. This first session will cover POCUS techniques including common definitions and evolution of the field\, how POCUS differs from consultative ultrasound exams\, the key formats currently used\, when and where POCUS should be applied\, patient positioning\, coupling agents\, and the value of using clinically relevant binary questions. \nWeek 2 (Real Time Session April 8\, 2021): Abdominal Ultrasound\nEver wonder if the cat that ate lilies is producing urine when it’s not possible to pass a urinary catheter? Ever wonder if the dog with an acute abdomen has free abdominal air in the abdomen\, or if the post-operative patient that is not eating has ileus? Using a binary approach to ask the right question at the right time makes learning and applying abdominal point of care ultrasound easy! \nWeek 3 (Real Time Session April 15\, 2021): Pleural Space and Lung Ultrasound\nEver struggle with determining the cause of dyspnea in a cat that is too unstable to take radiographs or draw blood for ProBNP levels (cardiac\, respiratory\, pleural effusion)? Ever debate if you should discontinue IV fluids in the patient with mild tachypnea? Have you ever felt frustration at not finding a cause for patients presenting for “ain’t doing right” with no specific clinical signs? Veterinary point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can help you manage these patients! Following a binary approach\, the key principles of the bat sign\, gator sign\, glide sign\, A lines\, B lines\, lung pulse\, and curtain sign\, dry lung and wet lung will all be covered. \nRecent veterinary studies have demonstrated the agreement between some veterinary thoracic and lung ultrasound protocols and CT scans are less than ideal when it comes to diagnosing pleural effusion and pneumothorax\, and to some extent\, lung pathology. This should not be the case! This session will focus on a practical approach to point of care ultrasound that considers clinical findings and challenges current protocols by asking the question; “where will pathology accumulate” and subsequently\, “what should we be sonographically looking for to answer binary\, relevant\, rapid\, clinical\, and often lifesaving questions”. Don’t simply put the probe on the patient or expect a “one protocol fits all” approach to be applicable to all situations; ask the right question and know how to modify protocols to increase the chance of success with pleural space and lung pathology! \nLung ultrasound has significantly evolved over the past two decades and knowing how the identification of artifact at the surface of aerated lung can progress to consolidated lung when the ratio of aerated to non-aerated lung falls below 5-10% is key to identifying lung pathology beyond simple wet lung. Lung consolidation is not difficult to identify and knowing how consolidations differ with regards to their borders and the characteristics seen within lung consolidations\, along with history and other clinical findings allows the differential diagnosis to be narrowed. \nWeek 4 (Real Time Session April 22\, 2021): Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound\nEver struggle with deciding if the dyspneic cat or dog should receive furosemide for possible congestive heart failure or wonder if maybe steroid administration for feline asthma would be more appropriate? What about differentiating pericardial effusion from dilated cardiomyopathy on thoracic radiographs\, or trying to decide if that fluid seen on ultrasound is pleural or pericardial? What about differentiating pseudohypertrophy and hypovolemia from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the cat? This session will build on each prior lecture and continue the binary approach to answering clinically relevant and appropriate questions to ask. The best part of POCUS is that you do not have to be a cardiologist or radiologist to perform these techniques! \nA patient presents collapsed\, it has poor pulses and a prolonged capillary refill time – it is in cardiovascular shock! (The internist runs away). Should an IV fluid bolus be given\, and if so\, how much and how will the patient likely respond to IV fluid therapy (The criticalist is super excited)? Where and how can you look at the vascular system to estimate intravenous volume status and fluid responsiveness? What is a flat vs. fat vena cava tell you? One last question: have you ever struggled to place an IV catheter in a patient that is dehydrated\, has hematomas\, thick skin or edema? You guessed it\, ultrasound can help\, and we will show you how! \nSuccessful completion (scoring 80% or better) on the end-of-course test is required to earn a certificate of completion for the course. To learn more about the requirements for earning a CE certificate\, please refer to Receiving Your CE Credit and Course Completion Certificate. \nCourse Materials: Course materials will be available in the course library prior to each Real Time Session.\nRequired Textbook(s): There is no required textbook for this course. \n \n  \nEnroll Now \nTuition: Member $161 ($145 early bird special if enrolled by March 11\, 2021)\nNon-Member $263 ($237 early bird special if enrolled by March 11\, 2021)\nPrices are listed in US dollars. \n*To ensure participants are ready and prepared for classes\, enrollment will close on April 1\, 2021 at 5 pm ET (USA) or when the maximum number of participants is reached. \n*For more information on how online CE works\, see the Participant Resource Center. \n\nEnrollment qualifications: VIN CE courses are open to VIN member and non-member veterinarians.

SUMMARY:Online Course - Open 4/4/21 to 6/23/21 - Brilliant Sanity: Mindfulness Meditation - VIN
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness Meditation is a contemplative\, secular evidence-based practice that allows for the development of increased self-observation and decreased reactivity. It can help to reduce stress\, increase compassion and increase distress tolerance. With consistent practice\, participants can experience a greater sense of well-being. \nIn this free course\, we will explore not only the neurological benefits of mindfulness meditation\, but also consider how the practice can and does enhance our professional and personal relationships. Each online session will include a meditation session\, during which participants can learn to “grow” their own\, personal meditation practice. \nPresenter: Michele Gaspar\, DVM\, DABVP (Feline)\, MA. LCPC\nCourse Open: April 4-June 23\, 2021\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Sundays\, April 11\, 18\, 25\, May 2\, 16\, 23\, June 6\, and 13\, 2021; 7:00–8:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 0 \n*Note to Perspective Students: In order to reap the benefits of mindfulness practice\, it is crucial that participants are willing to commit to 10-20 minutes of sitting meditation practice most days (no less than five out of every seven days). Less consistent practice typically results in participants being frustrated and abandoning meditation. Mindfulness meditation practice\, over time\, does result in positive benefits\, but these benefits typically correlate with the time devoted to sitting practice. \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\n##Learning Objective##\n\nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to VIN members interested in learning how to use Mindfulness in their practices and daily lives.\nAccreditation: This course does not qualify for AAVSB RACE approval. \nCourse Agenda: \nWeek 1 (Real Time Session April 11\, 2021): An Introduction to Mindfulness\nIn this overview\, we will look at the history of the practice\, its earliest practitioners and discuss its move to the West in the 1970s. We will consider the research into mindfulness and some of its implications for enhanced professional and personal relationships. \nWeek 2 (Real Time Session April 18\, 2021): The Neurobiology of Mindfulness\nIncreasingly\, interest in mindfulness has focused on the positive brain changes that come with consistent practice. In this session\, we will review some of that research and consider its implications. \nWeek 3 (Real Time Session April 25\, 2021): Sympathy\, Compassion and Empathy\nResearch into mindfulness consistently supports the greater development of compassion and empathy among practitioners. We will review how sympathy\, compassion and empathy differ\, what compassion and empathy really mean and how to develop healthy empathy. \nWeek 4 (Real Time Session May 2\, 2021): Mindful Boundaries\nMindfulness allows us to create healthy boundaries\, which actually enhances our own welfare and allows us to be better professionals\, friends and partners. In this session\, we will review rigid and fluid boundaries\, why boundaries are important\, some reasons why many have difficulties establishing good boundaries and how mindfulness practice can help us establish good boundaries \n**** BREAK – May 9\, 2021 **** \nWeek 5 (Real Time Session May 16\, 2021): Working with Reactivity\nMindfulness allows us to put a “pause” between thoughts/words and actions. How can we bring this reduced reactivity into our daily lives? We also will consider anger\, from a cycle of loss-anger-rage and revenge. \nWeek 6 (Real Time Session May 23\, 2021): The Mindful Veterinarian\nMindfulness can help enhance our ability to care for our patients\, and can help us with difficult client and staff interactions. With mindfulness\, we can avoid burnout and develop a sustainable\, enjoyable career of service. In this session\, we will review how mindfulness can help us develop a new approach to our daily lives as health care providers. \n**** BREAK – May 30\, 2021 **** \nWeek 7 (Real Time Session June 6\, 2021): Mindfulness\, Perfectionism and Self-Compassion\nPerfectionism is rampant among health care providers\, including veterinarians\, and can result in depression\, anxiety and suicidality. Many of us find that it is easier to provide compassion to others than ourselves. In this session\, we will consider perfectionism as an Early Maladaptive Schema (EMS) and understand how self-compassion (the ability to treat ourselves in times of distress as a good friend would) helps to mitigate perfectionism. \nWeek 8 (Real Time Session June 13\, 2021): Putting It All Together\nIn this final session\, we will review highlights of the previous seven weeks\, discuss how to develop a personal mindfulness practice and consider the challenges and rewards of doing so. \nSuccessful completion (scoring 80% or better) on the end-of-course test is required to earn a certificate of completion for the course. To learn more about the requirements for earning a CE certificate\, please refer to Receiving Your CE Credit and Course Completion Certificate. \nCourse Materials: Course materials will be available in the course library prior to each Real Time Session.\nRequired Textbook(s): There is no required textbook for this course. \nTuition: Free to VIN members \n*To ensure participants are ready and prepared for classes\, enrollment will close on April 11\, 2021 at 5 pm ET (USA) or when the maximum number of participants is reached. \n*For more information on how online CE works\, see the Participant Resource Center. \n\nEnrollment qualifications: VIN CE courses are open to VIN member and non-member veterinarians.

SUMMARY:Online Course - Open 4/13/21 to 5/7/21 - Responsible Antimicrobial Use 2021 - VIN (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem in both human and veterinary medicine. Whenever an antimicrobial is used\, it inadvertently selects for resistance by killing or inhibiting sensitive bacteria and leaving behind resistant organisms. As a result\, medicines become ineffective and infections persist\, increasing hospital times\, cost and morbidity. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to superbugs that are difficult or impossible to treat with our current antibiotic options. This course will discuss the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance\, the use of “best” practices to avoid the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. \nPresenters: Peter Foley\, MSc\, DVM\, DACVIM (SAIM)\nSandra McConkey\, DVM\, PhD\, Diplomate ACVP\nCourse Open: April 13-May 7\, 2021\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Tuesdays\, April 20 and 27\, 2021; 8:00-10:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 4\nRACE Category: 4 hours Medical \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\nunderstand the importance of preventing antimicrobial resistance.\ncescribe what resistance (including multi-drug resistance) is\, how and why it occurs\, and when antimicrobial use is required.\nexplain empirical vs rational choice of antimicrobials.\nexplain how to get the most information out of an MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) result.\nidentify when and which antimicrobials are appropriate for small animal diseases\, including the following scenarios.\n\nperioperative antibiotic use\nurinary tract infections\nmiscellaneous infectious diseases\n\n\n\nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to veterinarians and veterinary students actively interested in antimicrobial resistance stewardship.\nAccreditation: This course is approved for 4 hours of continuing education credit by RACE for veterinarians.
