The CBC is discussed as a single test, when in truth it is comprised of 20-25 different values, as well as important details about cell morphology to complete the picture. Understanding each component of the CBC, as well as the associated cytograms produced by our current automated hematology analyzers, is essential to sensitively and accurately diagnose and trend disease. Beyond the CBC report, the microscopic blood film review provides even further critical details about cell morphology to better understand the numerical data and clinical picture. In this case-based session, we will take a deep dive into hematologic analysis of real cases for which appropriate interpretation of the CBC, cytograms, and blood film changes are key to understanding disease and case management. Attendees will be engaged with polling questions and group exercises to ensure they leave more confident and with essential diagnostic information immediately useful in everyday clinical practice.

The US guided FNA Workshop is 3.5 of instructor-led training and assessment. The workshop will cover - in plane and out of plane guidance, FNA and needle biopsy; abdominocentesis, thoracocentesis, and pericardiocentesis; and vascular access (placement of intravenous catheters) including the Seldinger technique. A group size of 3 attendees per station is structured to ensure individualized attention.

Learn how to confidently differentiate seizures from seizure “impostors” and how to perform a diagnostic workup using nothing more than a camera and 20G needle. We will cover practical seizure terminology, semiology, and clinical pathology using the International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force (IVETF) statements as our guide. Seizures are no longer a daunting malady when you have not only a game plan mapped out, but one utilizing the tools in your own clinic.
