They’ll share top tips and takeaways from the critical topics they’re presenting, how to access information after the sessions are over, or find out more if you can’t attend.
Shelter Med LIVE! Decisions, Decisions: Sharing Shelter Leadership At the end of the day, shelter veterinarians and organizational leadership are aligned in purpose...but why doesn’t it always feel that way? At this month’s Shelter Med LIVE, we’ll dive into how we can build better relationships with executive leadership, advocate for medical standards, and take more leadership in shelter decision-making.
Shelter Med LIVE! You Can Handle It! Humane Techniques & Tools for Shelter Med Procedures Animals’ fear, anxiety, and stress coming into the shelter can turn an exam, vaccinations, or the euthanasia experience into a tense, even traumatic, ordeal for all involved, compromising care, safety, and efficiency. With often little information about an animal’s history and the need to balance safety with population health, solid humane handling techniques and tools are foundational for medical teams.
Shelter Med LIVE! Triaging Trauma: Stabilization Strategies from Field to ShelterJoin host Dr. Jenn Bennett with guests Dr. Maria Pyrdek (Chief Veterinarian and Animal Care Officer, Pasadena Humane) and Dr. Ashley Patterson (Associate Director of Operations, UC Davis California Veterinary Emergency Team) for a conversation on triage strategies that help shelter vets work within their capacity while still providing critical care.

It’s also a way to expand your own skillsets in medicine and surgery, and to bring care to shelters, clinics, and communities that do not have consistent veterinarian access, while being your own boss!
Shelter Med LIVE! Worth the Rounds: How This Daily Practice Saves Time and Improves CareRounds are considered a "MUST" in the ASV guidelines yet many shelters do not hold them or do not think they have time to hold them. We maintain that holding them actually saves time, prevents LOS bottlenecks, and increases good communication across shelter teams.
