Do you dread the management of open traumatic wounds? Do you secretly fear that you’ll never get the wound closed when you are excising a mass? Do you wonder if there are wound dressings that could make life easier for you, your staff, your clients, and your patients?

If you answered YES to any of those questions, we’ve got the perfect new CE course for you!  In this course you’ll enjoy 6 hours of online learning at your own pace and in your own place as you prepare for your immersive in-person/hands-on training experience. You’ll perform bandaging, simple wound closure, tensions relieving techniques and local & distant skin flaps on cadavers.

You’ll return to your practice equipped and confident in your ability to handle that next traumatic wound or skin mass excision.

You are welcome (though not required) to bring one of your vet technicians with you to this course. Register your veterinary technician here.
