testing. Proper completion of regulatory documents related to this disease will also be addressed. METHODOF TEACHING LAB: • 2-3 stations. • During the first 20-30 minutes, all of the group will be in the lecture portion with an overview. Next they will move to a hands-on area to conduct testing (if the lab is full, we may split the group and have some at a third station/table to learn logistics, such as how to package samples, where to send, etc.).
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM | 217 B RECOVER CPR INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION: BLS AND ALS Ken Yagi MS, RVT, VTS (ECC, SAIM) This session offers veterinary professionals certification as RECOVER CPR BLS and ALS Instructors, approved to certify veterinarians and veterinary technicians as RECOVER BLS and ALS Rescuers. Participants must have successfully completed the RECOVER BLS and ALS online courses and be RECOVER Certified Rescuers in BLS and ALS. Participants will learn how to conduct the BLS and ALS certification courses and administer standardized assessments to certify others in BLS and ALS. Participants will learn how to run hands-on BLS certification workshops with CPRmannequins and how to deliver the standardized assessments to certify others in BLS. Attendees will then learn to run a hands-on ALS certification workshop with a canine patient simulator running a series of CPR simulations, and ultimately a final "mega-code" certification simulation. Learning Objectives: • Provide effective instruction on concepts in basic and advanced life support following a standardized curriculum. • Deliver simulated CPR scenarios to engage students in active learning and the application of basic and advanced life support concepts. • Assess students’ knowledge retention and ability to apply basic and advanced life support concepts through standardized practical assessments. • Effectively discuss points of improvement through debriefing and remediation.

Want to provide short- and long-term nutritional support to the fat cat who won’t eat? This is the lab for you! Participants will practice a variety of emergency procedures under the guidance of two boarded-certified specialists, including thoracentesis, thoracostomy tube placement, nasoesophageal/gastric tube placement, esophagostomy tube placement, temporary tracheostomy, and more!
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM | 217 D ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND Lorrie Gaschen, DVM, PhD
Rebekah Gallaher, DVM Hayley Paradise, DVM The participants of this lab will be able to learn a systematic approach to performing abdominal ultrasound and learn to produce standard images of the major organs. The participants will also learn tips on how to find small organs such as the pancreas, adrenal glands and lymph nodes. The gastrointestinal junctions such as the pylorus and ileumwill be identified. Trouble- shooting techniques will also be covered such as “how to systematically find the duodenum, the right kidney and the right pancreas.” For more advanced participants, the instructors can tailor the lab to meet their needs and help those improve their current skill level.
