In this webinar and skills lab session, we will be discussing common emergency presentations through the lens of Spectrum of Care. We will discuss how to navigate these challenging cases, from diagnostic and therapeutic options to appropriate communication and record keeping. We will include a focus on radiographs and growing confidence and competency in interpretation, as well as how to navigate both the discussion about and documentation of owner’s consent.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
SARAH WHEAT, DVM
Dr. Sarah Wheat graduated in 2001 from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and went straight into practice as an emergency veterinarian. Over 17 years she helped grow an after hours/weekend emergency practice into a 24-hour ER and Specialty facility. Through the years she had a keen interest in more challenging critical care cases and also encouraging collaborative medicine. As she grew in areas of leadership she realized a strong interest in mentorship for young vets entering the field of emergency, and created a one on one program at her facility supporting these young vets. She recently joined the team at University of Georgia to help form and build the Clinical Skills Lab and program. She is enjoying this new adventure.
