WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A VINNER?

Did you know that there are responsibilities that come with being a citizen of the VIN community?

The VINners' Oath was created to better ensure that everyone joining the VIN community understands those responsibilities and what it means to be a VINner.

Take a moment to read each of the items in the oath and Paul's explanations of the reasons, history, and goals behind each.

Pedal Papillomas in Dogs

Here's your chance to contribute to the veterinary literature! Drs Coyner and Tater are hoping that you will submit a histo-confirmed case of pedal papilloma to this VIN-based study.

You'll need to have the medical record and the histopath report handy when you submit your case.

Check the clinical trials page to see if any of the ongoing trials might make new or novel therapies available for your patients.

If you would like to add your clinical trial or research project, please complete this survey or contact mrishniw@vin.com.
