We’re excited to see you on campus soon! The online content below will make sure you have the best experience possible when you get to CSU!
Please complete the pre-course survey, and the online pre-course material before you attend the in-person session.
Please plan to bring a laptop or tablet to the course. Though we will be using the OssAbility preoperative planning service, it may be helpful for you to download a free 30-day trial of vPop-Pro (this is an affordable, cloud-based radiographic planning app available as a monthly subscription) — https://vpop-pro.com. You can use this trial to better understand the concepts of TPLO Planning, TPA measurement, etc. You will note a vPop Pro instructional demo in the Helpful Supplemental Info section.
There are also helpful video demonstrations and additional reading. As the session dates approach we will add presentation notes for the in-person and online content that you will be able to refer back to in the future.
Once you’ve completed the in-person session, make sure to finish the course by marking yourself complete in the “In-Person Completion” section, and taking the post-course survey.
