VIN CE course: open to ALL new grads and VIN members and has been submitted for RACE approval for veterinarians
Course Description:
You recently were or soon will be diagnosed with a new condition -- DOCTOR!
The transition from NOT doctor to THE doctor is a scary one. You don't know it yet, but you already know a lot and are ready to do this.
You have the knowledge and many of the skills. Transforming that competence into confidence is the next big step in your journey.
"Getting Thru the Night" -Part III - a CE course offered FREE to New Graduates is now open for enrollment!
The VIN Foundation (a nonprofit foundation you will be hearing a lot more about) is committed to helping you (and all new graduates) feel supported as you journey into and through your profession. As a new grad, the VIN Foundation is covering your enrollment fee.
There will be minimal emphasis on pathophysiology and a strong emphasis on diagnostic testing, client management, time management and therapy for various common emergencies. Common mistakes will be highlighted so YOU don't make them and common pitfalls will be mentioned so YOU can avoid them.
Many revelations will be made and many long-held beliefs will be shattered. This will be a whirlwind magical tour through the whimsical world of blood and guts ER stuff! Wear your running shoes! This is the opposite of the Ivory Tower.
This course consists of two (2) 2 hour Real Time Sessions; library materials; interactive message board discussions; and an end of course quiz designed to enhance course effectiveness and material retention. The instructors will be using a combination of audio and text lecture during the real time sessions.
Upon completion of this course, you should:
About the Instructor:
Dr. Johnson is a 1996 graduate of Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After completing a one-year internship in California, he chose to pursue a three-year residency in emergency medicine and critical care at Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Portland, Oregon. In October, 2003 he became ACVECC board certified. Dr. Johnson went on to practice critical care medicine in Chicago, Illinois and Gaithersburg Maryland before joining VIN. He is also on faculty and runs the critical care unit at the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, and has lectured at several local and national veterinary conferences. He was inadvertently voted Speaker of the Year for the Western Veterinary Conference for 2010, and has somehow won several teaching awards. Dr. Johnson's special interests include pain management, bacon, mechanical ventilation, trauma, blood banking and transfusion medicine.
In his free time, he enjoys woodworking, blogging, counting his vast fortune in debt, cooking, SCUBA diving and raising his young son, Connor. He is married to Gretchen Statz, also a veterinary criticalist.
Dr. Palmer is a 2006 graduate of Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After receiving his DVM he served three years in the US Army Veterinary Corps as a Veterinary Corps Officer where he deployed to Iraq from Oct 2007 to Jan 2009 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is currently an Emergency/Critical Care resident at Auburn University CVM as well as an Associate Editor for VIN. He continues to serve as a veterinarian in the US Army Veterinary Service (Reserve Component).
Dr. Rieser is a 1995 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's College of Veterinary Medicine. She completed her Emergency/Critical care residency in 1999 and received her ACVECC board certification the same year.

Dr. Gaspar is a 1994 graduate of the University of Wisconsin's College of Veterinary Medicine.

She is currently the co-owner of the Central Texas Cat Hospital in Round Rock, Texas and is a consultant for VIN.
Dr. Davidow is a 1995 graduate of Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. After spending all her time in vet school trying to learn to be a mixed animal vet in the country like James Herriot, she ended up working in a small animal emergency clinic in Seattle. Shortly thereafter, she realized that she was at heart an adrenaline junkie. She pursued her ECC residency at Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Portland, obtaining diplomate status in 2002. She co-founded and co-owns ACCES Animal Specialty Centers in Seattle and also the ACCES Blood Bank. Her veterinary interests include transfusion medicine, immune blood diseases, and coagulation disorders. She is proud to have been a VIN consultant for the last 8 years. Outside of work, she spends most of her time trying to keep up with her very active husband, kids, terriers, and guinea pigs.
