COURSE REVIEWS
I recently finished the course and I feel so empowered about rabbit medicine now, especially regarding the content in the course about GI stasis and anesthesia. I have often been told by some doctors that I have worked with in the past that you can't do things like ET intubation or use less inhalant anesthesia but now I know that there are so many better ways to approach treating rabbit patients. This means a lot to me because I have been involved with procedures with rabbits where the patient passed away either during or shortly after anesthesia, including one of my own pet rabbits. For a long time, those experiences made me wary of assisting with rabbits under anesthesia and made me question my own skills and abilities. Now, I realize how important it is to raise the standard of care for rabbit patients because they are often not given the same standard of care that dog and cat patients receive.
I really love how Vetahead stands true to its motto, "Making ZooMed accessible". I couldn't have imagined getting a chance to study gold standard of rabbit medicine as a veterinary student from India. During my training, i haven't been able to provide best care to rabbit patients, but this course has empowered me and i can't wait to incorporate this newly gained knowledge into practice as a new graduate. The course modules are very well balanced and the procedure videos are really helpful, especially dental care and anesthesia. I really appreciate the illustrations in the modules and the e-books. The course is self paced and which makes it easier to pick up. This course has inspired me to expand my knowledge on other exotic animals and provide better standard of care to all my future patients. A huge thank you to Dr Proenca for this course and all she does on Instagram. I am truly inspired and I really hope I get to learn from her and Dr Sadar in offline mode someday .
I feel very fortunate to have found Vetahead. "A Clinician's Guide to Incorporating Rabbits into your Practice" is a very complete online course. I went from knowing very little pieces of information from rabbit medicine that I was reading in books and documents online to being able to confidently give advice to colleagues on how to treat their patients. I definitely know a lot more about this species now. Highly recommend this course to other veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
As an emergency doctor, I have encountered many sick exotic species including rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and even snakes. With my background in my home country (my university had a wildlife rehabilitation center that all junior veterinary students go through at that time), I had been comfortable enough in handling these species. But I often noticed knowledge gaps when I attempted to explain to the owners who came to the ER asking for my help. It was a letdown at a time as a clinician being unable to explain their conditions or disease processes explicitly. However, with the rabbit medicine course at VetAhead, I gained the confidence of dealing with exotic species, especially rabbits. I feel more prepared to handle any cases coming through the emergency door. I can explain to the clients how to care their beloved pets and what to expect during the hospital visit or hospitalization instead of telling them simply “someone (exotic vets) will go through in detail on the next day.” Thank you so much, Dr. Proença and Dr. Sadar!
This course has taught me so much! I am so grateful to be a part of something that I have an opportunity to learn and gain experience from that will make me a better future veterinarian. The course structure was great! I was able to follow the videos while I had the lesson work books. I was able to do my notes and watch the videos at the same time. The information was clear and easy to understand. I loved the diagrams and pictures within the lesson book to follow along with the course. Some of the terminology was harder to understand some of the time since I am in undergraduate school and have never been to vet school. This just gave me a chance to research it and become familiar with it now before hand so I can be ahead of the game. All in all it was a great course and I am excited to see what VETAHEAD has in the future.
The wide breadth of topics discussed ensured that there was something new to be learned for all participants regardless of experience level. The ability to discuss the material with fellow students and the instructors in zoom meetings allowed me to achieve clarity when needed. The instructors were also very willing to provide additional resources to further supplement our learning. Another awesome aspect of the course are the amazing illustrations. It is often difficult to find anatomically correct diagrams for exotic animal species, but this course provided phenomenal images. This course was a great way to supplement my vet school curriculum. I believe this course would be valuable to all veterinary students that are considering treating rabbit patients in the future. I look forward to future courses provided by Dr. Proenca & Dr. Sadar. I would love to learn more about small exotic patients such as guinea pigs, rats, and ferrets, etc.
Mahalo nui loa!
It was honestly really interactive, which I found amazing, because I learn best from pictures, and there's load of pictures in there. I also found the e-book really good, because I can then write my notes next to it, which makes it really easy to go back to. Also, all the lectures are there for you to go back whenever you want. Overall, the course is absolutely incredible!
A lot of hard work went into preparing each module. It is a well-balanced course for beginners and new graduates like myself to seasoned practitioners. I especially appreciated the course notes, they will be valuable to have for quick access in practice. The accurate anatomical drawings were the main highlight for me. I cannot wait for future courses.
Vetahead did an amazing job in developing such an easy to use, beautifully formatted online course. As a Veterinary student in the midwestern US it is quite difficult to expect to see many exotics while in clinical rotations. Lately, my teaching hospital has seen a major 3-fold increased in exotic patients most of which consisting of rabbits. The “Clinician’s Guide to Incorporating Rabbits into Your Practice” online course allowed me to confront those Rabbit cases with so much confidence along with the guidance of my professors. My ability to recognize disease characteristics, recommend appropriate diagnostics, and implement appropriate treatment plans was surely due to my ability to recall the information I’ve learned from this course. Thank you to the Vetahead team for advocating for improved standard of care in our Zoologic species, your work is very inspiring and incredibly necessary.
Vetahead’s “A Clinician’s Guide to Incorporating Rabbits into your Practice” has been an extremely informative series of continual education videos. Not only has it been helpful with me becoming more comfortable with rabbits, it’s had improved my knowledge base and taken the level of rabbit medicine up a notch.
Not only is the program easily accessible online, but the on demand availability is essential for a busy practicing veterinarian, mother, and wife. Life can get busy, but the books with the details along with the videos help make learning new about rabbit medicine very easy.
All the lessons were very helpful to me, mainly some topics like endotracheal
intubation and surgical skills, such as marsupialization. Learning more about
how important is the image diagnosing on dental disease and GI stasis made
me really happy. I think everybody should purchase this course to provide the
best approach for their rabbit patients! Thanks for the opportunity!
Vetahead’s Rabbit Medicine and Surgery course was a great learning experience! The lectures were informative, clear and engaging. I like that the instructors presented different ways of doing procedures, so I was able to get an idea of how to do things and use equipment in a way that is comfortable to me and fits in my clinic’s budget. The course notes are also a great reference to have. The checklist for materials for working with rabbits is very helpful as I am building my rabbit practice. It’s great to be able to go back to the notes for drug dosages and quick reminders on techniques for procedures. I feel like this course has made me a better rabbit vet!
I’ve been interested in wild animal medicine since I was an undergraduate, and now, two years after I’ve finally graduated and became a vet, I see almost exclusively exotic patients at my practice. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have done the “Clinician’s Guide to Incorporating Rabbits Into Your Practice” course! It is such an amazing, well scripted, well made and fun course! And the best part is: you don’t need any experience in exotic animals to take the course and understand it fully, because Dr. Proença and Dr. Sadar teach you the very basics of rabbit husbandry, in a clear and intuitive way. If you’re like me, who is a little more familiarized with bunnies, you can still acquire great knowledge in rabbit medicine and surgery in addition to tips and tricks to make your routine easier, from vets that are connected to and working in the field. The biggest practical difference I see in my practice after I’ve finished the course is that I’m way more confident in seeing my rabbit patients; treating them and making them and their owners feel safe and happy. If you’re a vet and want to start seeing rabbits or if you already do and want to have a better understanding of these patients and offer them the best treatment, I highly recommend you to do the course, it’ll help you offer the best care for your bunny patients. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to the exotic area or if you have years of experience, there are a lot of new things you’ll learn from it! Thanks again to the amazing Vetahead team, especially Dr. Proença and Dr. Sadar, for the amazing experience! I wish you guys the best!
There's a lot of useful info there, and the thing I liked the most was that there's always multiple options being presented - if you don't have access to CT, the course has a whole hour discussion on x-rays; if you don't have a supraglottic airway device, there's guidance for the other options to intubate your rabbit patient. I'm not saying I loved the course because I received the scholarship, I'm saying I loved it because I had 9 hours of knowledge that I will definitely use on practice.
I love the RITES of passage course! The instructor is really captivating and I love the format of an "informal conversation". I think this is the most casual CE course I've ever taken. The text that shows up on the screen really helps keeping focus and the learning process. The layout, the colors, the music - everything is beautiful!
Antibiotic stewardship is a topic of major importance for every vet. It can appear difficult to apply to exotic species, in which we always feel like our options are limited and evidence is scarce. This course does a fantastic job at summarizing every step to take in a simple and systematic way to make sure we don't cut corners and drop the ball. Thank you for this!
