Click your heels together three times, because the sell-out Veterinary Technician Symposium is back and we're getting into the spirit of Oz! This sell-out event is a unique opportunity for veterinary technicians to sharpen their practical skills in an exciting educational atmosphere. Offered at the world-famous Viticus Center in Las Vegas, NV, expert instructors – using today’s most innovative instructional approaches and technology – present skill-based training in analgesia, Fear Free, and physical rehabilitation techniques.

Come receive the latest hands-on training in analgesia, physical rehabilitation, and Fear Free best practices. Gain experience with the principles of pain management, building protocols, post-operative pain control options, and regional anesthesia. Course participants will also be able to identify imbalances in patients, perform accurate and effective photobiomodulation and extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and accurately perform orthosis casting molds for common medical conditions. Additionally, they will learn about Fear Free patient evaluation tools and foundation behavior modification skills that help pets be both healthy and happy!

Working in small groups, participants rotate through active learning stations and experience the full extent of authority-centered lectures, workshops, and cooperative small group interaction. Outside of the classroom, spend time bonding with your family of technicians through fun, interactive games and Oz-themed social events!

Build your confidence in performing these  procedures with accuracy and efficiency:

  • Describe and demonstrate the three core Fear Free concepts: Considerate Approach, Gentle Control, and Touch Gradient

  • Evaluate dogs and cats via video and with live animals according to the Fear Free FAS Scale and assign a numeric score for Fear, Anxiety, and Stress based on observations

  • Identify at-risk patients for developing increasing FAS based on responses to handling both in video and with live animals
