Evaluate the patient. Calm the clients. Notify the team. Treat the patient. Repeat! Veterinary technicians are the first responders in the ER, and triaging requires more than a brief once-over. This session covers every aspect of an ER veterinary triage, from input to intake, and informs you how to implement effective triage into your practice. Useful for general practices and specialty centers, via telemedicine and in-person. You won't just be reading a temperature; you will be reading the whole room.

Learning Objectives:

Identify common ER visits & what they entail
Learn Triage 101: patient evaluation nose to toes
Discover what telemedicine means for a veterinary technician/nurse
