This lecture will describe many of these advances, including the use of intra-operative radiology, as well as expected and reported results. Advances in Surgical Management of Patellar Luxation Saturday | 10:10 am - 11:00 am For decades the surgical management of patella luxation consisted of improving the depth of the trochlear groove and either transposing the tibial tuberosity or placing an anti-rotational suture. Over the past two decades a number of innovative surgical procedures have been introduced to more effectively address the anatomic abnormalities associated with this condition. The application of these procedures will be discussed. Dr. Dan Lewis is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, and a former President of the Veterinary Orthopedic Society. He is the recipient of the 2012 World Small Animal Veterinary Association-Hill’s Pet Mobility Award and a Professor and Eminent Scholar at the University of Florida. His special interests include musculoskeletal traumatology, fracture management and reconstructive orthopedic surgery with a focus on the utilization of circular and hybrid external skeletal fixation for fracture stabilization, deformity correction and limb salvage procedures. 7 CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS VETERINARY TEAM (open to veterinarians and technicians) CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES Amy Morgan, PharmD, RPh Saturday, May 14 These two one-hour lectures will focus on the use, misuse, documentation, safeguarding and prescribing of controlled substances, fulfilling the two-hour triennial NYSED CE requirement for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Part I - Classifications, Legislation and Prescriptions Saturday | 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm Review the classification of controlled substances at the Federal and NY State level, discuss legislation as it pertains to prescribing and dispensing controlled substances in NY State as well as providing an update on recent changes in NY State controlled substance law. The NYS I-STOP program and reporting requirements will also be reviewed. Part II - Recordkeeping and Diversion Saturday | 5:00 pm - 5:50 pm Review requirements for record keeping and storage of controlled substances in New York State. Cases of clients and staff diverting controlled substances in various practice settings will be presented. There will also be an interactive discussion on diversion detection, prevention methodologies and reporting suspected diversion. Dr. Amy Morgan is a veterinary pharmacist at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals. Prior to becoming a pharmacist she was a licensed veterinary technician and practiced in both general practice and referral hospitals in central New York and Florida. She is a member of the Companion Animal Hospital Infection Control Committee and the Antibiogram Development Team at Cornell University Hospital for Animals. Dr. Morgan is currently working towards becoming a Diplomate in the International College of Veterinary Pharmacy. END-OF-LIFE CONCERNS Mary Gardner, DVM Sunday, May 15 When is it Time? Assessing Quality of Life Sunday | 8:00 am - 8:50 am Assessing the quality of life of a family pet is a delicate balance between managing client emotions, the progression of the disease, and the happiness of the pet. These key issues are not always in harmony and it is the job of the veterinary professional team to manage and balance each party’s interests with the natural developments of biology. Understanding common trends in both people and their pets helps better identify their needs, address their concerns, and make a decision that does the “most good” for all involved. 8 Workshop: The Art of Euthanasia and the Science of Death Sunday | 11:30 am – 2:20 pm (three-hour workshop) The euthanasia appointment is unparalleled in emotion and sentiment. There are few things in veterinary medicine, or life moreover, that require as many outward displays of empathy, compassion, and commiseration from a doctor. The tone of voice, delivery of words, bedside manner with both patient and client, and the medical procedure itself become a delicate dance around death that doctor and staff should carefully choreograph and continually improve. It is only through this shared solace that the family will feel lovingly connected with your clinic, ensuring an unsurpassed level of client service. Dr. Mary Gardner loves a grey muzzle! Her professional goal is to increase awareness and medical care for the geriatric veterinary patient and to help make the final life stage to be as peaceful as possible, surrounded with dignity and support for all involved. A University of Florida graduate, she found her niche by co-founding Lap of Love which is now the nation’s largest organization of veterinarians dedicated to end of life care in the home. EVERYDAY TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR PRACTICE Caleb Frankel, VMD Saturday, May 14 Analog or Digital? The Electronic Veterinary Medical Record 101 Saturday | 9:00 am - 9:50 am Switching to electronic medical records is an inevitable transition for any modern growing veterinary practice. In this presentation, we’ll highlight the reasons for (and against) going electronic and dig into the steps necessary to achieve the transition. Print Money by Going Paperless: The Digital Treatment Sheet Survival Guide Saturday | 10:10 am - 11:00 am Your practice currently loses 10% or more of its charges annually. Using this simple tool, you can recoup those charges all while increasing global efficiency and improving patient safety. In this hour we’ll detail the lessons learned over the past six years converting two 30+ doctor specialty hospitals to digital treatment sheets. The App-idemic: Top Veterinary Apps for 2016 Saturday | 2:30 pm - 3:20 pm It’s an app-idemic! Mobile devices and apps are all the rage and we’ll show you how to embrace them in your practice by discussing the top apps you may not know about and how to tame your staff into using mobile devices in productive ways. Dr. Caleb Frankel is an internship-trained small animal emergency veterinarian, author, and speaker who is an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania. He currently divides his time between two roles: CEO of Brief Technology, a technology startup developing practical pointof-care tools for veterinarians, and Emergency/Critical Care Veterinarian at the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center, a 60-doctor referral practice in greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 9 CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS TECHNICIANS TRIAGE AND EMERGENT CARE FOR TECHNICIANS Andrea Steele, MSc, RVT, VTS (ECC) Friday, May 13 First Impressions Count: Assessing and Stabilizing Friday | 8:00 am - 8:50 am First impressions are formed in the first three seconds of new situation. Visual cues such as demeanor, body language, and grooming are used to evaluate a person. What many don’t realize is that we can use these same skills to evaluate and triage emergency patients. Triage is an art form, and this lecture will give you the tools you need to recognize and classify patients into a triage scale, to ensure they are seen on a priority basis. Complications of Intravenous Infusions and Medications Friday | 2:30 pm - 3:20 pm While it is something we do as nurses every day, there are many potential complications associated with IV fluids and medications.  Drug and fluid incompatibilities, extravasation, and air embolism, while thankfully not very common, there are certainly complications that we must be able to recognize and react to immediately. Andrea Steele has been an ICU technician at the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Centre for over 17 years, and achieved Veterinary Technician Specialist in Emergency and Critical Care (VTS(ECC)) certification in 2003, becoming a member of the Academy of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Technicians (AVECCT). She became the President of AVECCT, and currently serves on the AVECCT Council of Regents as Immediate Past-President. Ms. Steele is an experienced lecturer, and regularly speaks at veterinary conferences in Canada and the US, and has been an invited speaker in both Australia and the UK.
