Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: : The Future is Here Ready or Not - Genetic Testing Leading to Precision Treatments and Telemedicine utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Technology is forever changing and advancing, and this is also true in veterinary medicine. Oncology is constantly changing, and it is impossible to keep up with it plus all the other sides of veterinary medicine. This course discusses new technologies recently available in veterinary medicine which can help aid the clinician in diagnosis, prognosis, therapy options, and communication options with clients and specialists.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • list the new tests and treatments available in oncology and discuss new technologies evaluating genetic mutations and specific therapies
  • explain what telehealth is and outline the uses of telehealth
  • discuss how to do telehealth in the clinic along with teleconsulting

 

Participant Feedback

When asked what aspects of the course liked best some responses were:

...Great presentation on the new technologies that are out there. Presented very well.

...lots of information regarding cancer diagnosis and treatments that I was not aware of, or minimally aware of. Good examples of how to use these as well as how to incorporate telemedicine.

...Dr. Venable is amazing! This course was great. As a technician, it was nice to learn more about the testing options that are out there to off to clients, and to help back the doctors up on those cases where we offer to do extensive diagnostics to look for cancer in pets.
