Learn MoreCourse Description
This new on-demand series deals with the aftermath of certain serpent encounters.
Join ECC enthusiasts Drs. Gerken and Kuo as we slither through current envenomation treatment practices in the United States, covering geographic distribution and access to care. After identifying venomous species, get the expert’s advice on adjunctive and anecdotal therapies (even the weird bacon trick your cousin swore by). We’ll review nuances of antivenom types so you can choose what works for your practice, and then close with a conversation on special considerations for coral snake cases.
Through this IntroVet® On-Demand Course, you’ll earn 3 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the final assessment (quiz), you’ll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate.
