In Case You Missed It: Veterinary Medicine in the COVID-19 Era

In this recent Rounds, J. Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, DACVIM (LAIM), led an informative discussion focused on the bigger aspects of COVID such as how to assess and mitigate the risk in clinics, and how to function while we wait for things to get back to normal.

"Knowing your local epidemiology is important because that helps you figure out what you can do in your clinic and what risks you have and how much risk you can take, how we can balance protection and the practical aspects."

Does your practice have a natural disaster plan?

Wildfires, hurricanes, COVID, oh my! This week's Quick Poll is the annual reminder to take a look at your practice's disaster preparedness and share your insights and experiences with your colleagues.

Is a chance to cut a chance to cure in your hands? Last week, over 2700 of your fellow VINners answered the question "Do you do surgery?" While the vast majority of practitioners perform surgery, close to 10% try to avoid the scalpel when possible. Visit the Quick Poll Archives to read the full results and to share your take on this or other polls.
