Learning outcomes
There are five lectures surrounding common emergency surgeries that come about in the first few years of practice and the nutritional management that is needed. The CPD afternoon was developed to help support recent grads or veterinarians returning to the workforce with the best surgical approaches and common mistakes and troubleshooting that may be needed.
Veterinarians will feel more confident in their management of these emergency cases and the surgical approaches they need to take as well and how to manage the nutritional side of some of the common disease states.
Intended impact
