Presentation Description / Summary: Join us for an engaging transatlantic collaboration as two veterinary technician specialists in internal medicine share compelling case studies from their respective practices on the West Coast of the United States and the United Kingdom. This interactive presentation will explore how different healthcare systems, protocols, and cultural approaches influence patient care and outcomes in complex internal medicine cases. Through real-world examples, attendees will gain valuable insights into diagnostic approaches, treatment protocols, and client communication strategies that transcend borders while highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities each region presents.

Learning Objectives:

Compare and contrast diagnostic and treatment protocols for complex internal medicine cases between US and UK veterinary practices, identifying best practices from both systems.
Identify collaborative problem-solving strategies that can be applied when managing challenging cases regardless of geographic location.
Develop critical thinking skills for case evaluation by viewing familiar conditions through different clinical perspectives and approaches.
