Abbott Animal Health has launched a new Fluid Therapy On-Line CE program in Canada!

We have enlisted the assistance of many of the top specialists in this field to develop this training. This team has many experts, including Dr. Bernie Hansen of North Carolina State University, Dr. Wayne Wingfield from Colorado State University, Dr. Steve Haskins of UC Davis, Dr. Rebecca Kirby of Milwaukee, and others. This is a comprehensive program designed to increase veterinarians' and technicians' knowledge and confidence administering IV fluids.

There are ten modules. Each module is approved by the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) for 1 continuing education credit for a total of 10 continuing education credits upon completing all 10 modules. The topics include fluid therapy basics, intro to fluid types, crystalloids and colloids in depth, fluid administration guidelines, catheter placement and care, IV fluids during anesthesia and surgery and interactive case studies.

If possible, please post this outstanding opportunity on your continuing education section of your website. Attached is additional information about our program and how your members can gain access to the on-line education.
