Recorded Tutorials
We run Zoom CPD tutorials fortnightly on Mondays at 8am AEST.
These are casual, case-based and well suited to people with an interest in small animal internal medicine. Please join the CPD Tutorial Group by subscribing here.
Epilepsy
Today we discuss the current guidelines for diagnosis and management of canine idiopathic epilepsy and recap the mechanism of action of our commonly used AEDs. Important membership topic and for all GPs!
Vascular, Developmental, Degenerative, Traumatic and Neoplastic Brain Disease
In this session, Anna and Anthony do a case-based tutorial on non-inflammatory brain disease in dogs and cats, designed for veterinarians preparing for the ANZCVS Small Animal Medicine Membership examination. Using common clinical presentation (stroke, meningioma/glioma, hydrocephalus/Chiari-like malformation and traumatic brain injury), we work through localisation, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up and evidence-based management, drawing on the peer-reviewed veterinary literature (JVIM, JSAP, JFMS and others).
Inflammatory, Infectious, and Other Multifocal Brain Disease
Join us for a discussion on approaching the neurological patient, including when to worry about infectious disease and sensible decision making if your owner declines referral.
Neurophysiology and Neurolocalisation
Today's session covers some nervous system anatomy and physiology, as relevant to medications and examinations we have to do all the time. We review some basic neurolocalisation, the subtle changes that might help you differentiate neck or forebrain lesions.
Echocardiography Findings in Heart Pathology
We run through the first views to attempt on your echocardiogram journey!
Membership Exam Oral Exam Practice 2
Today we run through 3 cases in preparation for the membership oral exams. Good luck candidates!
Membership Exam Oral Exam Practice 1
We talk through cases in a mock oral exam style for the upcoming internal medicine membership orals. We will be performing another session in 2 weeks' time, open to all! Best of luck candidates!
Membership Exam Case Based Discussion
Join us to work through some paper 1 style pathophysiology questions! Good luck to membership candidates for your upcoming exams!
Hypertension, Pericardial Diseases and Case based Exam Questions
Today, we deep dive into the ACVIM consensus statement for management of hypertension in cats and dogs, including discussing why first-line treatment differs between species. A useful tutorial for all GPs, particularly membership candidates!
Congenital and Myocardial Heart Disease
We run through how congenital and myocardial disease might impact diastolic and systolic function, how alterations of blood flow (e.g., shunting) impact remodelling and RAAS activation, and what we're seeing in our Australian populations relative to what the papers say.
Heart Failure - Diagnosis and Management
Today, we go over the adaptive and maladaptive responses to decreased cardiac output and increased preload, and how they contribute to the development of congestive failure. Geoff was a good sport in this one, I pick on him relentlessly and he stepped up! Great discussion on different cases and how forward and congestive failure show up differently.
Cardiac Physiology, ECG and the Pathophysiology of Heart Failure
Dr Helen Todd takes us through a fantastic powerpoint of cardiac physiology, how Na, K and Ca changes can impact the cardiac contraction cycle, and our ECGs. We run through some case examples talking through what's actually happening on different ECGs traces in a case based approach to cardiac physiology. Thanks Helen!
