Catch the Lecture!

Did you know that an extremely negative memory – for example, a pet that experienced extraordinary shock, stress, or pain – can develop mal-adaptive fear and literally think they are going to die every single time they are taken to the veterinarian? Moreover, if you don’t look after the emotional wellbeing of ER patients, you’re not practicing best medicine.

Join Dr. Marty Becker, and Dr. Kevin Yang as they discuss how to reduce pain and fear in the Emergency Room.

📅 Date & Time: Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025, 1:40 PM - 2:30 PM
