APPLIED CLINICAL BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE
Applied Clinical
Behavioral Medicine
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Behavior problems result in the death or relinquishment of more
dogs and cats than infectious, neoplasic and endocrine disease,
combined. Almost 60% of clients have at least one question
about their dog’s or cat’s behavior during any visit, and research
indicates that most of these questions go unanswered. Virtually
all behavioral problems are treatable and treatment results in a
safer, calmer, happier community of pets. Yet education in and
access to behavioral medicine remain enormous unmet needs.
Few veterinary schools offer comprehensive education in
modern behavioral medicine. Practices that invest in integrating
behavioral medicine into their services experience growth in the
complexity of services delivered across all medical fields because
patients live longer and better.
This course was created to bridge the gap between need and
knowledge. As an applied behavioral medicine course, the
instructors will provide the theoretical basis for understanding
the etiology of behavioral pathology within the context of a
stepwise approach to patient work-up and treatment. The labs
are specifically designed to teach hands-on observational,
interventional and fear-diminishing handling skills. The use of
video cases, combined with the interactive format for which this
course is renown, will provide the practitioner with skills that are
immediately useful. This is an intense, rigorous, intellectually
stimulating and fun course designed to renew the curiosity that
will help practitioners forge new and courageous skills
benefiting their patients and clients.
After completing this program, you will be able to:
• Recognize and identify the range of behaviors associated
with behavioral states and identify patterns of behavioral
associations present in common behavioral pathologies
• Differentiate and define the neurodevelopmental periods
and apply this knowledge to case management and
problem prevention
• Match and demonstrate behavioral and other interventions
that will aid in resolving behavioral pathologies
• Analyze which pharmacological interventions are most
suitable for each patient, treat patients and monitor resultant
outcomes
• Interpret problematic behavioral patterns in a manner that
will persuade and aid clients in prevention, early intervention
and treatment of the most common behavioral issues

PRACTICAL TECHNIQUES IN SOFT TISSUE & ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY
Practical Techniques in Soft
Tissue & Orthopedic Surgery
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This four-day course is designed to teach participants the
technical aspects of a variety of soft tissue and orthopedic
surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the
lectures, but emphasis will be placed on the technical
aspects used to perform each procedure thus maximizing
time in the lab. Topics have been chosen that represent
surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice
and include stifle exploratory, extracapsular fixation for
ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, medial patellar luxation
repair, vulvarplasty, laryngeal tie-back, femoral head and
neck resection (craniolateral approach), forelimb
amputation, perineal hernia repair, chest drain placement,
salivary gland resection, penile and scrotal urethrostomy,
anal sacculectomy, 15 minute gastropexy and rapid
splenectomy. Specific feline surgery techniques will include
perineal urethrostomy – a new approach, esophagostomy
tube placement, chest tube placement, nasal planum
resection and femoral head and neck excision via a ventral
approach. Video of clinical case material will be used
extensively throughout the laboratory to help illustrate each
technique.

SMALL ANIMAL BOOTCAMP: WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW
Small Animal Bootcamp:
What You Really Need to Know
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will serve as a broad overview of small animal
practice. A four-year veterinary curriculum cannot be
condensed into a four-day program, but this course will
review the most important aspects of companion animal
practice. The sessions are meant to act as a review for
clinicians that are returning to clinical small animal practice
after an absence, and as a springboard for newer clinicians
seeking an added bit of confidence prior to entering
practice. Topics will include dentistry, surgery,
endocrinology, dermatology, gastroenterology, urology,
cardiology, anesthesia and several others. Important aspects
of practice such as communication skills and tips for a
successful practice will also be covered.
• Confidently apply your accumulated knowledge into
clinical practice
• Comfortably construct a list of differential diagnoses
for diseases affecting the major body systems of small
animals
• Perform basic small animal dental procedures
• Have the building blocks needed to pursue more
in-depth studies in your defined areas of interest

Training That Works – Training for Results
Speaker: Louise S. Dunn, Snowgoose Veterinary Management Consulting
Description: Our profession conditions us to be continuous learners – learning about medical advancements,
animal behavior, communicating with clients, and working with a diverse group of people. Much of the learning
occurs on the job, within the walls of veterinary practice. The problem is how to determine which training
methods are going to work for your particular needs, and how to ensure that your training program is producing
the results you need.
• Identify necessary objectives to strengthen your training program in your practice
• Organize materials and resources, both in-house and online, necessary for your training program
• Judge your training program
• Analyze and select the best resources and method of delivery

Looking for Profitability – Key Performance
Indicators that Tell the Truth
Speakers: Louise S. Dunn, Snowgoose Veterinary Management Consulting; Eric D. Garcia, Simply Done Tech Solutions
Description: Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is business metrics used to evaluate factors that are crucial to the
success of your veterinary practice. It is common to hear “KPI” in many discussions about business actions and
profitability. It is also common to hear many managers complain that they spew out a bunch of numbers that
seem to mean nothing when it comes to managing the practice. This includes social media such as bonding/
retention rates as it relates to marketing efforts and client experience.
Is it paralysis due to an over-kill of numbers, or, is it a poor choice of numbers and the lack of clarity about which
numbers determine what action is needed? If you want to improve profitability, you need to have a clear structure
of KPIs you want to follow.
• Recognize past indicators of results and performance that tell you how you have done
• Distinguish which indicators are needed to guide you to increase results, performance, and profitability
• Design action plans to monitor, communicate to the team, and take action for positive results
DAY 3 — MARKETING

Speaker: Eric D. Garcia, Simply Done Tech Solutions
Description: It’s frightening but true—although it takes years to build your reputation (both online and offline),
it takes only moments for a negative online review to destroy it. Help happy clients spread their accolades for your
practice through online reviews. Engage negative reviewers with honest, transparent and timely responses and
earn back respect and goodwill. In this session, discover how to develop a reputation management plan for your
practice. It is time to navigate the world of online reviews!
• Define which types of reviews can help or hurt your veterinary practice
• Outline training program for introducing a reputation management process within your veterinary practice
• Prepare guidelines for your management team for responding to both positive & negative reviews
• Implement a strategy to participate in discussions, respond to all reviews, and salvage client relationships
• Assess the effects of your reputation management program on client relationships and business goals
