Wed, Dec 2, 2026 Agenda: THE 7 HABITS OF GOOD DEATH DIALOGUE Veterinary teams want to feel more comfortable discussing death with clients. They want to minimize the wrong words and maximize the right ones. Saying the right thing during an emotional time makes everyone feel better and improves trust between client and staff. Whether it’s through the reception, the medical team, or management, effective communication before, during and after death becomes effortless with the proper training. Join us for this informative hour built around the 7 habits of good death dialogue, designed to help staff become more confident communicators.
TIPS FOR A TECHNICALLY SMOOTH EUTHANASIA Euthanasia requires more skill than just giving an injection. Providers need to determine the best approach given the patient’s signalment and the team’s experience. There are 5 common injection sites for use in most companion animals: IV, IC, IP, IR, IH. The goal is to reach for the best one given the situation and feel confident when performing it. Our goal during this session is to review these 5 injection types with focus on the nuances of smooth delivery, and time to review sedation protocols. Worried about those geriatric patients and poor blood pressures? Not anymore. Seating is limited to 500 (500 places are currently available) Please register before Dec 1 If you plan to attend, please login for online registration and payment - or notify the CAVM Administrator by email. |
