Part One: Neurolocalization and Malformations | 3 videos, 2.5 hours
Through this segment, viewers will become familiar with the essential basic concepts of neurology. We will demonstrate the execution of a complete neurological exam, define each neurolocalization unit (forebrain, brainstem, spinal cord, nerve, and muscle), and review the functions and location of lower motor neurons (LMN) vs upper motor neurons (UMN).
New for 2025: In addition to identifying and localizing neurological disease, we’ve now added a lecture on a myriad of congenital anomalies, like vertebral malformations, atlanto-axial and atlanto-occipital luxations, and more.
Estimated time to complete: 2.5 to 3 hours
Part Two: Seizures | 3 videos, 4 hours
In part two, viewers will study the identification, causes, treatment, and prevention of seizures. Upon completion of this segment, viewers will understand how to differentiate seizure-like episodes from true seizures, and will be able to utilize history, signalment, and exam findings to determine the likelihood that a seizure is being caused by idiopathic epilepsy vs structural disease. Viewers will also hear recommendations for treatment and long-term management of seizures. Data and clinical justifications will be presented, to aid in medication selection and optimize outcomes for every patient.
Refreshed in 2025, these sessions also walk through an algorithm for in-hospital management of acute and chronic seizures. Use video case examples and EEG results to create effective maintenance and rescue plans tailored to each pet.
Estimated time to complete: 4 to 4.5 hours
Part Three: Inflammatory, Disc, and Vestibular Diseases | 4 videos, 3.5 hours
In the final segment, viewers will learn to readily identify clinical signs relating to vestibular and inflammatory CNS disease. Concepts will be presented to aid in patient-side differentiation of vestibular signs as “peripheral” or “central”. Viewers will understand how to communicate prognosis and treatment recommendations for both peripheral and central lesions. An added, feline-focus lecture now expands on presentation and treatment of vestibular disease in cats.
Viewers will also learn how to define, identify, and treat inflammatory diseases of the brain and spinal cord, with emphasis placed on the most common form - meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown etiology (MUE).
Also new for 2025, Dr. Young shares 20 years of data and advancements for IVDD. Steroids or NSAIDs, cage rest or surgery - this lesson might surprise you!
Estimated time to complete: 3.5 to 4 hours
With this IntroVet Certificate Program, you’ll earn 10 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the final assessment (quiz), you’ll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate, as well as a professional Certificate for display in your hospital.

MEET THE SPEAKERS
William Bush
VMD, DACVIM (Neurology)
Dr. Bush was an English major at College of the Holy Cross and a naval officer prior to graduating near the top of his class at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School. He then completed a rotating internship in medicine and surgery at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Bush then returned to the University of Pennsylvania for a residency in Neurology and Neurosurgery, where he earned numerous research and teaching awards. After finishing his residency, he settled into the DC Metro area and practiced locally until launching Bush Veterinary Neurology Service in 2005. Bush Veterinary Neurology Services has now expanded to five locations across the east coast.
His practical, straight-to-the-point way of teaching has made him a favorite speaker at IntroVetTM and across the globe! Veterinarians who attended his workshops in 2019 and 2020 had nothing but great things to say about Dr. Bush, and kept conversations going right up until it was time for him to fly home!
Martin Young,
DVM, DACVIM (Neurology)
Dr. Young earned a Master of Science degree in Anatomy and Neurobiology from Colorado State University where he also received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. He spent the first few years out of school working in general practice. In 2007, Dr. Young completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship at South Paws Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center before being accepted as the first resident into the BVNS residency program in July of 2008. Dr. Young has a strong interest in neurosurgical oncology and has been involved in several studies, data collection for the NIH, and presented at several human conferences and grand rounds at Mt. Sinai.
Dr. Young will lead us through lessons in diagnosing and managing IVDD and congenital malformations of the CNS. What’s better for IVDD - NSAIDS or steroids? Dr. Young will tell us!
