Course Information:
Blood transfusions for the emergent patient may not happen often in general practice. When it is needed, the veterinary technician needs to know how to set up equipment and perform lab tests associated with transfusions. This self study course provides a good basic review of transfusion medicine. This course was originally offered as a live webinar via drip.vet (part of the VIN family). This course will consist of one self study module in the form of videos to be watched. Modules will include handouts to be read and an end of course test. To earn a certificate of completion, the participant must obtain a score of 80% for each module quiz and for the end-of-course test. Completion of all modules (videos, reading handouts, quizzes, and end-of-course test) will take a minimum of 60 minutes to complete. Participants must complete the participation requirements by April 30, 2024 to be eligible for a certificate
