Who is this Course For?

 

Are you looking at blood smears in-house?

If not, do you need some convincing of why you should be?

Then this course is for you. 


The Mastering Hematology course is designed for the veterinary professional who wants to stop being frustrated by blood smears.  

The CBC/blood smear is a simple, inexpensive test that can pack a huge punch when it comes to making a diagnosis for the patient.

But if you're not comfortable with what you're seeing, it's understandable that you may not spend much time reviewing smears.

This course will help you feel more confident in what you're seeing. You'll be able to take what you're seeing and use that to solve the puzzle of what's wrong with your patient.

Dr. Larry Venezia - Veterinarian

I've been in practice for a long time and am senior partner in an 11 vet practice. I had a solid foundation in hematology as a student, but that was many years ago. Since graduation from vet school, I've had dribs and drabs of hematology and cytology, but never a well organized, very well explained collection of practical information all in one place. The course is well worth the investment, and I thank Dr. Kate for making is available. 

Dr. Samantha Gabree - Veterinarian

I am absolutely terrible at blood smears and really struggle with different types of anemia. This is hands down one of the best courses I have ever taken! It's all the information you ACTUALLY need to know in general practice/ER. All the slides are great, and I feel like everything was explained so well. highly recommend everyone take the course!! Both techs and doctors would benefit. 

Katherine Town - Registered Veterinary Nurse

This course is packed with information and enthusiastically delivered in a way that is easy to follow and understand. As an RVN, I'd been told that blood smear analysis had value, but never what value or how to do it. I now feel confident analyzing blood smears, and I can already tell the news skills this course has given me will be of huge benefit to the patients and the clinic. I can't wait to start using them. 

Dr. Kim Heyning - Veterinarian

This course was absolutely worth every cent and every minute spent with the modules. I love the very pragmatic approach and the practical application to things seen every day in practice. I will be returning to review the information as I continue to hone my skills.
