On this episode of United We Spay, Loren Breen, the Director of Policy, Research, and Government Affairs at the Animal Policy Group, joins Stacy to unpack the significant rise in spay-neuter legislative activity—from a mere 100 bills in 2017 to over 2300 in recent years. We navigate the landscape of spay-neuter laws, exploring prohibitive bills and creative tax initiatives like California's tax designation for euthanasia prevention and Louisiana's innovative pet stamp program. Despite many bills facing obstacles, Loren shares strategic approaches to propel these initiatives forward, including the critical role of veterinarians and collaboration with state associations. Addressing the pressing veterinary staffing shortage, we examine legislative responses reshaping the roles of veterinary technicians and mid-level professionals. California's pioneering bill allowing registered veterinary technicians to conduct neuter surgeries under supervision might set a precedent nationwide, while telemedicine is gaining traction in states like Florida, potentially easing staffing woes. We also widen our gaze to global spay-neuter advocacy efforts, encouraging our listeners to engage with resources offered by the United Spay Alliance. Stay informed each month as we share meaningful conversations to advance animal welfare globally. In this episode, you will hear: A surge in spay-neuter legislation, from 100 bills in 2017 to over 2300 recently California's euthanasia prevention tax and Louisiana's pet stamp program Veterinary staffing shortage solutions, including expanded roles for vet techs and telemedicine innovations California's bill for RVTs to perform neuter surgeries under supervision Efforts by United Spay Alliance and resources for engagement Importance of collaboration and veterinarians and state associations in legislative advocacy Mid-level professional roles and veterinary loan repayment discussions Resources from this Episode United Spay Alliance: unitedspayalliance.org Feline Fix by Five: felinefixbyfive.org Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Should veterinary medicine introduce a mid-level practitioner role? With the landscape of veterinary care changing, there's a proposal in Colorado to create a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA) role, sitting between licensed technicians and veterinarians. In this episode of the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and Stephanie Goss discuss the potential impact of expanding technician responsibilities and how this could redefine roles in general practice. What does this mean for access to veterinary care, the utilization of support staff, and the future of our profession? They explore the nuances of this issue, touching on staffing shortages, licensing, and the evolving structure of veterinary practices. Whether you're a veterinarian, practice manager, technician, or a passionate veterinary professional, this conversation is a must-listen as we navigate the possibilities and challenges ahead. Let's get into this episode!

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) occurs as a result of a viral mutation in cats infected with feline coronavirus.  For decades, FIP has been a devastating condition in cats with an extremely high (95%) mortality rate and no reliable treatment options. A few years ago it was discovered that the antiviral drugs remdesivir and GS-441524 are highly effective for treating FIP, but these drugs are very expensive and there was no legal means of accessing them in Canada or the US – until now!  As of 2024, Canadian veterinarians can access these life-saving drugs through an Emergency Drug Release (EDR).  As these drugs and the process to access them are new to many Ontario veterinarians, the Ontario Animal Health Network is thrilled to have Dr. Kelly St. Denis with us to walk us through some of the ins and outs of these new treatment options.

Hvordan håndteres vold i skolen og hva er det som utløser den? Har skolene ressursene til å håndtere dette og det som måtte ligge bak? Hvordan møter skolen elevene som utøver vold og de ansatte og elevene som utsettes for dette? Hvordan ivaretar man alle de som skal være en del av skolen? Temaet for panelsamtalen var voldsutøvelse fra elever i skolen og skolens ressurser til å ivareta disse elevenes behov før det kommer dithen at de utøver vold. Synliggjøringen av vold fra elever i Bergensskolen kommer samtidig som det politisk sett settes stramme rammer for økonomien. Dette skaper en ytterligere utfordring for lærerne til å gjennomføre lovpålagte pliktene og å sikre elevenes trygge og gode psykososiale miljø. Dette er en lokal debatt, men tjener også som eksempel på en større utfordring på landsbasis hvor mange tall peker i samme retning som i Bergen.

In this episode, guest host and vascular technologist Jill Sommerset interviews Dr. Kathleen Gibson, vascular surgeon and president of the American Vein and Lymphatic Society, about the role of RVTs and venous ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic venous disorders. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic Abre Venous Stent https://www.medtronic.com/abrevenous Boston Scientific Eluvia Drug-Eluting Stent https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/medical-specialties/vascular-surgery/drug-eluting-therapies/eluvia.html?utm_source=oth_site&utm_medium=native&utm_campaign=pi-at-us-de_portfolio-hci&utm_content=n-backtable-n-backtable_site_eluvia_1_2023&cid=n10012337 --- SHOW NOTES We begin by discussing Dr. Gibson's career. She was the first woman to complete a vascular surgery fellowship, which was in 2001. Her training, like most, was very arterial focused at the time. She then moved into the private practice space while still completing clinical research. She began to realize that more of her patients had venous disease than arterial. For example, she saw many more patients with varicose veins than abdominal aortic aneurysms. Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) in particular, remain poorly studied and understood. She became interested in this patient population because she saw many women present with pelvic pain and varicose veins after multiple targeted saphenous vein treatments. She realized this was because the source of the problem, the pelvic veins, were being left untreated. Dr. Gibson developed a varicose vein classification that is being disseminated around the world, and has been translated into multiple languages. It is called the SVP Classifier (Symptoms-Varices-Pathophysiology). It was developed to be used in conjunction with CEAP (Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology) classification for venous disease. There is an app available, as well as a workbook that can be used to claim CME. It is a tool that can aid providers and vascular technologists alike when working up PeVD. Lastly, Dr. Gibson reviews her workup of a patient with pelvic pain. Before undergoing ultrasound and vascular workup, it is important to think of other causes of pelvic pain in women of certain ages. In young women, she always ensures patients have seen a gynecologist, as endometriosis is the most common cause of pelvic pain in this group. If they are post-menopausal and present with new onset pain, she also has the patient see a gynecologist to rule out malignancy. Finally, if the patient is postpartum, she loops in a pelvic floor physical therapist because myofascial pain from pregnancy can mimic pain from PeVD. For the vascular workup, she begins with an ultrasound performed by a vascular technologist. She meets with the patient to discuss symptomatology and impacts on quality of life. If PeVD is found on US but the patient has minimal pelvic symptoms, she does not pursue treatment. She treats the patient, not the imaging. If symptoms are bad enough, she will move forward with stenting (for obstruction) or embolization (for varicosities). For embolization patients, there is no routine follow up unless there is a complaint. For stenting in NIVL (non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion) patients, she follows patients with annual US for a couple years. For post-thrombotic stenting she sees patients for US every 6 months, and then annually, as re-thrombosis is always a concern in these patients. --- RESOURCES American Vein and Lymphatic Society: https://www.myavls.org Society for Vascular Ultrasound: https://www.svu.org SVP Classifier App: https://www.myavls.org/svp-classification.html Pelvic ultrasound technique paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0268355516677135?journalCode=phla UIP 2023: https://www.myavls.org/annual-congress-2023.html Twitter: @JillSommerset @KathleenGibson6

The first RVTS workshop of the year was held as a virtual event during April.  Registrars are located all over Australia, and were able to join the workshop from their homes or practices, joining in for high quality training without the risks of travel in our current climate.  The 3 day event for the 3 cohorts covered various topics including GP Emergencies, Dental Emergencies, Obstetrics, Paediatrics, Palliative Care, Ophthalmology, Care Plans and more.

RVTS Medical Educators (MEs) all share a passion for rural, remote, and Aboriginal Medical Services, registrar education, and supporting doctors on their General Practice journey. The ME team was recently interviewed, and each one was asked to identify something that would contribute to registrar success in general practice training in 2021.

The 2021 training year has just begun at RVTS, and we’ve caught up with Dr Pat Giddings, RVTS CEO, GP and GP Obstetrician, to talk about the year that’s been and the year ahead.  Dr Giddings shares what he believes makes RVTS successful, and gives his “TOP TIP” for Registrars for 2021.

Tema i denne episoden er forebygging av selvmord. Vi snakker med Gudrun Austad, spesialkonsulent ved RVTS i Bergen(Ressurssenter om vold, traumatisk stress og selvmordsforebygging) og Sybille Greiner, leder for LEVE Rogaland (organisasjon for etterlatte etter selvmord). Vi har også en samtale med Mental Helse sin hjelpetelefon 116 123. Til deg som har tanker om selvmord, vil vi si at selv om alt kanskje kjennes mørkt og tungt nå, så vil det ikke alltid være slik. Ingen kan love deg at alt det vanskelige vil forsvinne, men ofte blir det betre. Å snakke om sjelvmordstanker er noe av det modigste du kan gjøre. Det er mange som vil og kan hjelpe, og det er god hjelp å få.Fastlegen har informasjon om ulike lavterskeltilbud der du bur og kan sende tilvising til psykolog eller anna behandling i kommunen eller i spesialisthelsetjenesten. Ved akutte situasjoner, ring legevakta på 116 117Ved livstruende situasjoner, ring nødnummeret 113Disse telefonene er åpne 24/7 hver eneste dag:Mental Helse: 116 123 Røde Kors: 800 33 321Kirkens SOS: 22 40 00 40Du finner også informasjon på helsenorge.no - hjelp ved sjølvmordstanker See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As we observed NAIDOC Week in November, many RVTS registrars and staff used the opportunity to attend (mainly online) events to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.  RVTS Acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands and seas on which we live and work, and pays respect to elders: past, present and future.  Events during NAIDOC week remind us about our commitment to consider a First Nation perspective in all training activities at RVTS. As you may be aware, according to the strategic plan of RVTS, the purpose of RVTS is to improve Australian health by training and retaining medical practitioners working in Rural, Remote and First Nation communities by facilitating access to medical education and training in circumstances where it may otherwise not be possible, providing flexibility and innovation in meeting the medical training needs of diverse communities, and, as mentioned, to consider a First Nation perspective in everything we do.

Today, I am happy to have the privilege of talking to Angie Arora and Kirsti Clarida, two professionals who I got introduced to through the Veterinary Social Work Program. Angie is a registered social worker from Toronto, Canada. She gears much of her practice around pet loss bereavement and building compassion resilience in animal care professionals. Kirsti is a registered veterinary technician in Ontario, Canada, and she has done a lot of advocacy work to increase awareness around the importance of the roles of Registered Veterinary Technicians in veterinary medicine. Kristi and Angie got together, and they have been doing a lot of research and putting some hard work into compiling a veterinary training manual to help people deal with any challenges related to their relationship with animals.  Although working with animals can be fulfilling and rewarding, it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting. Angie and Kirsti are joining me today to discuss the work they are doing in the field, which includes pet loss and bereavement, compassion fatigue, and strengthening compassion resilience. Be sure to stay tuned today to hear what Angie and Kirsti have to share about reinforcing how people relate to animals. Show highlights: The two life experiences that came together for Angie, that started her journey. Angie explains what a veterinary social worker does. Angie discusses the role she plays as a Pet Loss Support Group Facilitator with VetVine. Kirsti talks about the work she's been doing to increase awareness of the challenges of veterinary technicians. How Angie and Kirsti were brought together, their relationship, and the kind of work they are doing together. About the research that they did through Seneca College, their goal, and the result that ensued. Kirsti shares some profound statistics from their research. Pet loss with species other than dogs and cats, and the euthanasia process. What dysthanasia is, and how to deal with it. What they learned about hospice and palliative care during their study. The importance of addressing caregiver fatigue and burnout. Supporting children in their grief. What veterinary practices can do with the guidelines that Kirsti and Angie have made available. Angie and Kirsti's Bios: Angie Arora is a registered Social Worker from Toronto, Canada, with over 15 years of experience in the areas of pet loss and veterinary compassion resilience. She has worked as a hospital Veterinary Social Worker, facilitated community-based pet loss support groups, and engaged in media campaigns to reduce the stigma associated with pet loss. She is on the inaugural Board of the International Association of Veterinary Social Work and serves as a Pet Loss Support Group Facilitator with VetVine. Angie is a Professor with Seneca College's Social Service Worker Program. Her social work practice has also focused on issues of gender-based violence with a specific focus on immigrant and refugee communities. Also, she is a Certified Compassion Fatigue Specialist with the Traumatology Institute and works with the veterinary industry to build wellness through strengthening compassion resilience. Angie obtained her Bachelor of Social Work from Ryerson University and Masters of Social Work from York University.   Kirsti Clarida has been a proud Registered Veterinary Technician since graduating from Seneca College in 1999. With service in small animal, emergency, and locum veterinary practice, she brings a wealth of experience to her current role as Coordinator of the Veterinary Technician Program at Seneca College. She is also the former Communications Manager of the Ontario Association of the Veterinary Technicians (OAVT) creating campaigns to increase awareness of the important roles RVTs play in veterinary medicine in Ontario. Kirsti continues to advocate for RVTs in her roles as Vice-President of the OAVT and President of the Ontario Veterinary Technician Educators. Links and...

About Today's Show In today's episode, we speak with the coordinator of the Seneca College Veterinary Technicians Program, Kirsti Clarida. While so many of our students are studying remotely during the pandemic, others need to come to class to fulfill the requirements of their programs.  The Veterinary Technicians Program is one such program.  But how can students, and their faculty, to come to campus and keep everyone safe?  Our guest has the answer. Also in this episode, we talk about: 1.  The role technology played in helping deliver the essentials of the program, in addition to the in-person component. 2.  How innovations to the program, as a result of the pandemic, actually enhanced the experience of the students. 3.  Hank!  (Kirsti's dog!)

October is Registered Veterinary Technician Month and the Urban Zoo is celebrating the approximately 9,000 RVTs across Canada. Bill also talks with dog sled race announcer and team handler, Chrissy Halliday, in the home of Western Canada's longest running Winter Games, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

RVTS recently hosted the 3rd annual RVTS Grand Round Webinar.  We were delighted to be joined by Art Nahill and Nic Szecket from IMReasoning, amongst others,  who discussed a case in the form of a “cognitive autopsy” - with all the benefits of hindsight.  The discussion highlights that diagnostic errors occur surprisingly commonly!

We’ve reached May in a year that will certainly go down in history! It’s been a tough year to be a GP in Australia with many challenges indeed! How are you coping? How are you looking after yourself? This month, 2 of our RVTS registrars, Leigh-Anne Bingham and Jeni Davila Mendez, discuss self care. Leigh-Ann and Jeni give some specific advice on how to do this during a pandemic.

Korleis kan vi forstå, og korleis kan vi forebygge radikalisering? Det er slikt Elisabeth Harnes frå  Ressurssentra om vold, traumatisk stress og selvmordsforebygging (RVTS) jobbar med. Denne veka var ho i Florø for å være med inkluderingskonferanse i regi av Kinn ressurs og utdanningssenter, og vi var heldige å fekk lurt ho med oss inn i podcaststudio for ein prat.  

Vlak voor internationale vrouwendag gaan wij in gesprek over de rol van vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven. Recent besloot het kabinet om het advies van de SER over een quotum van 30% vrouwen (en 30% mannen) in de raden van commissarissen van beursgenoteerde ondernemingen te gaan doorvoeren Daarnaast is er een pakket maatregelen dat er op is gericht ook de andere circa 5000 vennootschappen die onder de Wet bestuur en toezicht vallen in beweging te krijgen. Wordt dit een succes? Of moet er dan meer veranderen binnen organisaties in Nederland? En: heeft het zin om je alleen op RvCs van beursgenoteerde ondernemingen te richten? In hoeverre weerspiegelen de verhoudingen in het bedrijfsleven de nog altijd weinig geëmancipeerde verhoudingen in de Nederlandse samenleving? In de studio is Babette Pouwels van Bureau Pouwels, zij heeft meegewerkt aan onderzoek ten behoeve van het SER-advies en is ook al jaren betrokken bij het samenstellen van de monitor die sinds 2013 jaarlijks in opdracht van het ministerie van OCW wordt gemaakt om in de gaten te houden hoe de samenstelling van RvBs, RvCs en – soms – RvTs zich ontwikkelt. Ook professor Belle Derks is te gast. Zij is hoogleraar Sociale en Organisatiepsychologie aan de Universiteit Utrecht en doet veel onderzoek naar onder andere genderstereotypering.

It’s hard to hire a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT, CVT, LVT) these days! This week we’re joined by the 2020 National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) President, Kenichiro (Ken) Yagi, MS, RVT, VTS (ECC, SAIM). Ken gives us the latest update on the Veterinary Nurse Initiative (VNI) and engages in an important discussion with hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT on the need for veterinary technician title protection (and what this means), how to get the most out of your RVT staff, what procedures RVTs can - and should - be doing, and a free online tool to help any veterinary clinic determine how well they’re utilizing support staff. This is a timely conversation on a wide variety of topics affecting the veterinary profession in 2020 and beyond. Please share with your colleagues! Viewfinders, don’t forget to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts this week. Thank you!

Welcome to Episode 37 of People, Pets & Vets! In today's episode, we'll talk a bit about how we try and efficently run our practice by utilizing our RVTs and Veterinarians in a different way than most 'corporate' clinics, the pig ear debate, salt lamps, Thanksgiving Hazards and so much more!

Join us this week as we get to know one of our RVTs, Jaritza Catalan! We'll talk about the GVA scholarship, which Jaritza was the 1st ever winner of, take your cat to the vet day, what in the world a Kinkajou is, and so much more!

This is a clinical case discussion I participated in for the RVTS Grand Rounds. Thanks to the team for inviting me and providing the audio  tough case with lots of pearls to take away

We’re excited to share this special edition of RVTS4GPs with you, featuring the recording of the recent 2019 RVTS Grand Round "Stump the Chump" with Dr Casey Parker.  The case presented is a 16 year old girl who comes in with her Aunty. Casey is asked to unravel the puzzle. Dr Casey Parker is based in Broome in WA and is well known for his blog and podcast broomedocs.com. He discusses various aspects of this case that need to be considered, with input from Marlene Drysdale (RVTS's Cultural Educator) and Dr Jacki Mein (a previous RVTS registrar based in Cairns). It was a challenging case, with an interesting discussion, and plenty of learning points.

This week hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and registered veterinary technician Beckie Mossor discuss the breaking news that California RVTs have abolished the previously-required California RVT exam in favor of the VTNE (Veterinary Technician National Exam). The team discusses what this means, why this (or potentially isn’t) a sign of professional progress, and what the implications for veterinarians and the veterinary profession may be. They also discuss license reciprocity, examination standards, and Dr. Ward shares a story he was recently told by a dentist who encountered a specific, and almost disastrous, hiring situation that reveals a shortcoming in the current licensing system. Thanks again for listening and please leave us a review on iTunes and share with your friends! We love talking to you every Wednesday!

This week the lovable, amateur, chef-erooskis dive a little deeper into their personal lives. Listen in to hear about how puberty may or may not have affected our decisions as teacher and financial advisor later in life!

Welcome to 2019! We’re kicking off with one of those tricky subjects in general practice: the overlap of pain and addiction. As GPs, we aim to relieve pain and minimise harm, but occasionally patients get addicted to medications we prescribe. How can we become part of the solution? One of the RVTS supervisors, Ian Kamerman, speaks about this in a very practical and real way in the webinar recording excerpt this month. This area is certainly where the “art” of general practice comes into play. Registrars are encouraged to discuss this topic further with their supervisors to refine their skills in managing opioid addiction in the community.

This week's intense obsession hits in the virtual world. Join our stallions of the Italian variety on a nostalgia filled journey through how gaming created them to be the men they are today. (Disclaimer, the volume is a bit out of whack, we suggest cranking up this specific episode to hear all of the rousing fun.)

This week's episode of RVTS tackles the streets! Take a ride along with the Italians and learn about Baltimore and the way it has impacted their lives and hearts.

In this episode, Roman and Vince take some time to set the stage with a little background about themselves. 

Uncertainty in general practice is unavoidable. We deal with uncertainty in more than half of our consults. Coping with the uncertainty is an essential skill for GPs. This month we again listen in on a webinar about Dealing with Diagnostic Uncertainty with Marlene Pearce, a GP based on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. This is the final part of a 3 part series, based on the webinar delivered to RVTS registrars by Marlene. In Part 1of ‘Uncertainty in General Practice’, Marlene spoke about using clinical reasoning to assist, what to do when we’re stuck, as well as what pitfalls to avoid. In Part 2, we consider what contributes to the uncertainty we experience. In this final part of the webinar, we look at how best to deal with this uncertainty.

We were fortunate enough to have Art Nahill and Nik Szecket from IMReasoning join us for our inaugural RVTS Grand Round Webinar for a STC case discussion. One of our medical educators, Dr Lorri Hopkins, provided the case, and Art and Nic demonstrated their clinical reasoning every step of the way.

This month, one of our RVTS registrars, Meryl Nicol, talks about how you can use everyday examples from your daily practice to sharpen your clinical reasoning skills in preparation of the KFP exam - or any exam, really.

RVTS Medical Educators will be presenting several sessions at this year’s conference in Cairnes - this is a sneak peak of what will be discussed

This month, Dr Sonia Singh discusses cultural communication in general practice. Dr Singh co-ordinated a session at the last RVTS workshop on “Cultural Diversity”. During the session, consults were presented by registrars in a traditional setting in their own language. Guessing the context of the consult from the dynamics and body language revealed implicit biases. The consultations were then spoken in English, followed by insightful discussions. Sonia speaks about the lessons learned:

In this interview with RVTS CEO and director of training, Pat Giddings, we discuss the RVTS Model which incorporates remote supervision and distance education in a model aimed at promoting workforce retention in rural and remote Australia.

Hvert år tar mellom 75 og 100 eldre mennesker sitt eget liv her i landet. Langt flere forsøker å ta livet sitt og enda flere sliter med selvmordstanker. Mange eldre velger døden hvis de ikke får den hjelpen de trenger når de ikke lenger kan klare seg selv. Hva kan vi gjøre med det? Ildri Kjølseth, overlege og spesialrådgiver ved RVTS øst er ukas onsdagsgjest.

If you have ever said to yourself that you would love a career that combines your love of animals, a desire to improve the health of people as well as animals and one that challenges your mind, you don't have to be a veterinarian. You might want to consider the field of veterinary technology. Registered veterinary technicians are skilled professionals work in veterinary hospitals as well as in the field. They play an essential role in research laboratories, and diagnostic companies. The RVTs are in the military as well as help to protect the environment with the work that they do with wildlife conservation. Today's guest is Cherylann Gieseke, a registered veterinary technician at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
