Have you ever been sitting at the microscope and found yourself completely overwhelmed?
Maybe sending your FNA to the lab isn't an option, and you've got about 5 minutes to figure this out before you have to move on to the next appointment.
Everything is looking like blue and purple blobs, and you're starting to see red because you're so frustrated.
Or maybe you have always loved cytology and you just want to feel more confident in your interpretations.
Perhaps you're a shelter vet with a limited budget, or maybe you have a really sick patient that can't wait 2 days for a cytology report to come back.
Whatever your motivation is to up your cyto game, this course will help you get there.
Building a solid foundation is essential to moving from frustrated to fascinated-- and that's what this course is for!

Dr. Kim Heyning - Veterinarian
The Mastering Cytology course was probably one of the best CE courses I have ever completed. Lots of down to earth descriptions and common mistakes and how not to make them. Well worth every minute spent on this course.
Dr. Joanna Koilpillai - Veterinarian
The course material was very well organized and presented at a level that even a recent grad like me could understand the concepts. I appreciate the very generous use of pictures and spot-on descriptions that help me remember details better. Thank you for all your patient insights into the world of Cytology, it has changed my perspective of cytology forever!
Krystal Hill - Registered Veterinary Technologist
I have been a registered veterinary technologist for over 15 years. I have never enjoyed cytology...until I started the Mastering Cytology course. It teaches you the fundamentals while not overloading you with information. I highly recommend this course!
Dr. Lisa Goldberg - Veterinarian
The Mastering Cytology course is GREAT! Whether you are a new grad or have been in practice for a long time, this course demystifies cytology for the general practitioner. It's incredibly practical, systematic, and logical in its approach. I didn't learn it this way 20 years ago, and suddenly it seems so much more manageable and far less daunting.
Kelly Conrad - Certified Veterinary Technician
This may have been my all-time favorite CE course! Dr. Baker's teaching style is very relaxed...like she's addressing friends. It is also very well organized. I learned so much in this course. I can't say enough about it!
