Learn MoreCourse Description
Dermatology cases can snowball into recurring nightmares.
Chronic skin infections, purulent ear discharge, and switching antibiotics again. When skin and ears aren’t getting better, it’s our least favorite type of follow-up visit. That’s why we’re teaming up with a real derm-namite duo, Drs. Pieper and Santoro to learn what actually works and why.
Viewers will learn a tiered framework to guide initial antibiotic selection with stepwise escalation for severe and resistant cases. We’ll review the epidemiology of resistant skin infections, as well as strategies for long-term control of atopy and otitis. With a fresh framework and insider tips, you’ll have the perfect plan the next time a client asks, “What else can we do?”
Through this IntroVet® On-Demand Course, you'll earn 1.5 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the assessment (quiz), you'll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate.
This course is available for free thanks to sponsorship by Virbac!
