Current Techniques in Canine Pain Management is now offered as an online course!
"As a PT, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much from the pain management course. I feel I'm far more knowledgeable now than I am for human patients on those topics! Greta's case study was so helpful: to hear the thought process of medical management. I don't manage medication, but I do need to know how they can affect my patients and work with docs to give feedback." –Kelli R. Koga, PT, CCRT, Lafayette, Colorado
Faculty: Patrice M. Mich, DVM, MS, DABVP, DACVAA, DACVSMR, CCRT
