Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Euthanasia Reimagined – The Modern Approach utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Euthanasia was ready for an evolution and much has changed in the past 10 years. Experts and practitioners alike have found ways to celebrate the bond, protect patient comfort, and elevate client pre-planning and communication. Everyone is benefiting from the advancements. Has your veterinary team joined 'The Good Death Revolution'?

Dr. Kathleen Cooney, Director of Education for the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA) highlights their 14 Essential Components of Companion Animal Euthanasia. It's time to look deeper into what clients want, what patients need, and how veterinary teams can find fulfillment in euthanasia work.

At the end of the presentation attendees should be able to:

  • outline the components all euthanasias need
  • identify the best ways to protect the human-animal bond
  • find harmony and satisfaction in this area of veterinary medicine

 

Participant Feedback

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

...I feel the presenter gave relevant, action-able information that will improve the euthanasia process at our clinic. I know both the client and patient will benefit from improvements we plan to implement. The presenter was clearly passionate about the topic, which helps to keep me engaged.

...I really appreciate Dr. Cooney's advice and thoughtfulness. I learned a lot of useful techniques. I graduated in 1999 and had not seen intrarenal injections before.

...The most valuable part of this course was learning the different resources that help make euthanasia a better experience for everyone. Even though it is one of the hardest tasks veterinary professionals have to deal with it can be a good experience for everyone involved.

...Breaking down the different factors for helping people choose the right situation for themselves and their pets.
