Submit a Technician Case Report for the ACVIM Forum!

Wondering if you would enjoy public speaking?

Have you considered beginning to lecture and not sure how to start?

Looking for invaluable critiques of your brief lecture in a fun and supportive atmosphere?
 
Submit a case to present at the ACVIM Forum in Austin, Texas on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. Accepted applicants will receive free registration for the ACVIM Forum for their efforts!

Any questions? Contact  [email protected]
Deadline for submission is Tuesday, March 15th 11:59pm PST.
 
Information on Presenting
The subject of the Technician Case Reports must be a patient with a condition from one of the AIMVT specialties (Cardiology, Large Animal Internal Medicine, Neurology, Oncology, or Small Animal Internal Medicine) or the specialty of Nutrition

Technician Case Report Presentations should demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and expertise in the specific specialty, and should be selected based on your ability to demonstrate those in the presentation.

Cases selected for presentation are not required to be rare or unusual, however unique patient presentation, interesting disease aspects, or uncommon case management scenarios enhance presentations for submission.
  • There is no limitation as to the species or other specifics of the case.
  • Case Reports are considered scientific presentations and as such should be presented in the third person.
  • Information regarding the disease, diagnostics, therapy, and treatments must be included in the presentation.
  • The case should exemplify the use and application of a high degree of veterinary nursing skills and assessment.
  • The case should demonstrate that the patient’s outcome was, in part, linked to the nursing care provided.
  • References must be included.
  • You may NOT use your own pet as the subject of your Case Report.

AIMVT wants to make this a learning experience for people considering lecturing in the future or that want to improve their presentation skills. Technician Case Report presenters with little to no lecture experience are encouraged to submit.  Presenters who are selected will be mentored to assist in final preparation of the case for presentation.

  • Presentations are limited to a total of 20 minutes each:
    • 15-minute presentation
    • 5 minutes permitted for questions from the audience.
    • Each presentation will be timed.

  • A computer-generated presentation is required. We suggest the use of PowerPoint for your presentation. The set-up time and proper functioning of the computer program is the responsibility of the presenter. The moderator will meet you before your presentation and pre-load your presentation on the desktop of the computer.

  • Each presentation will be evaluated by an independent panel of technician judges who will offer invaluable oral critiques of all presentations.
    • An award will be given to the overall best presentation within the time limit.
    • Evaluation guidelines include the quality of the case, the actual presentation quality, ability to present within the allotted time frame, and response to questions from the audience.

  • The authors of all case reports that are accepted will be notified in early April.
 
Requirements
  • Presenters must be credentialed veterinary technicians or credentialed by country of origin.
  • All presenters are required to work with a mentor who is a VTS, DVM, or board-certified specialist (ACVIM, ACVN, etc.).
    • The mentor must review the submission to ensure its integrity and accuracy.
  • Submit a synopsis of the case using the following online form: https://www.cognitoforms.com/AcademyOfInternalMedicineForVeterinaryTechnicians/CaseReportACVIMForum2022

ACVIM 2021 Going Virtual

From the ACVIM:
Dear ACVIM Colleagues,

We are excited to share ACVIM Forum updates with you today! Reflecting on the challenges presented this year, one success story was the rapid transition to a virtual event, bringing us the 2020 ACVIM Forum On Demand, providing high-quality CE to over 3,200 virtual participants thus far.

Looking forward to 2021, we carefully weighed all of the options and took many factors into account including the uncertainty surrounding the safety and ease of travel and large gatherings and made the difficult decision not to meet in person next year. Instead, we are excited to announce the 2021 ACVIM Forum will be virtual. Offering live-streamed presentations, opportunities for virtual networking, access to on demand sessions and the latest in research, all taking place on the dates you have already marked on your calendar, June 9-12, 2021.

While we all miss the opportunities for face-to-face connections, we are confident that when we meet again in-person, the ACVIM Forum will be even more robust, featuring in-person presentations alongside virtual offerings. The expertise gained from this year’s quick transition and the broader experiences we plan for the 2021 ACVIM Forum will set us up for long-term success in providing the educational content you want, wherever you are and with access to even more sessions than before.

The ACVIM is dedicated to delivering the highest quality and most relevant content to you June 9-12, 2021, in addition to three months of on demand access following the live event. We are eager to bring you cutting-edge programming optimized for a virtual environment. Working closely with our volunteer committees and the aligned groups that come together during our live conference, we will continue to deliver outstanding learning opportunities and the latest in veterinary research. Dedicated virtual networking offerings will provide the ability for connection we have all been missing during the pandemic.

Veterinary Technician/Nurse CPR Survey

3/14/2017

 
Thank you for participating in this survey regarding CPR practices among Veterinary Technicians/Nurses. From the survey creators:

Dear colleagues:

Are you a nurse/technician or veterinarian currently providing clinical veterinary care to small animals (dogs and/or cats)? If YES, then we are inviting you to participate in a survey on how veterinary professionals currently conduct CPR in dogs and cats. We would love to have your input!

This anonymous, internet-based survey was composed by veterinary criticalists at the University of Melbourne (Australia) and Cornell University. The survey contains less than 35-40 questions, and may take 10-15 minutes to complete. We hope you will find the time to take the survey.

Please follow this link to access the survey: https://redcap.vet.unimelb.edu.au/surveys/?s=4EKWYFYC4K

The results will be used to generate a manuscript and can be accessed in that form, once published.

Thank you for contributing your time and experience to this project!

Sincerely,

Manu, Dan, and Íde

Manuel Boller, University of Melbourne
Dan Fletcher, Cornell University
Íde Gillespie, University of Melbourne"
