Access to Veterinary Care: Affordable or Excellent - Why Not Both?

CVMA Online Seminars are convenient interactive presentations offering CEUs held in real-time. This learning platform allows you to participate from anywhere with internet access—from your practice, your home, or anywhere you have an internet connection. Attending is as easy as a few mouse clicks. You will only need internet access and either computer audio, a headset, or a telephone.

This webinar is open to veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary hospital staff, and veterinary students only.

Course Description

Affordable care should not equate to substandard care. This presentation will cover how to utilize registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) and veterinary assistants to expand access to care in a surgical setting. We will also explore how leveraging RVTs and veterinary assistants can enhance access to affordable surgical care without compromising quality. We will discuss how RVTs and veterinary assistants can work together to form creative anesthesia and pain management approaches, including making CRIs easy and how to learn and implement local blocks. We will also discuss case management when overnight care is not an option.

This course qualifies for 1.5 CEUs.
