Feline Cardiology: Where the Textbook Ends and the Real Debate Begins! 🐾

When cases get complex, we have to look deeper.

We are so excited to welcome Dr. Joshua Stern, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (Cardiology) to the next ACVECC PGR Seminar Series! This isn't just a lecture, it’s a specialist-level think tank designed for Diplomates and residents to dive into the realities of modern medicine.

Why this session is a must-attend:
✅ Beyond Generalities: See how genetics and precision medicine are actively changing critical care outcomes.
✅ The "Messy" Reality: We’re tackling the controversial therapies where the evidence is still evolving.
✅ Insider Access: Get practical insights directly from the cutting edge of clinical research.

Whether you’re a resident prepping for boards or a specialist staying at the top of your game, this is the collaborative conversation you need to be part of!

Way to go team at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine

Not every emergency looks like one. Copper came home from an escape with just a few scrapes — but something wasn't right.

A late-night visit to the Virginia Tech Veterinary Teaching Hospital revealed a diaphragmatic hernia had shifted his organs into his chest cavity. What followed was a reminder of what makes a teaching hospital different: every case leaves with every person who was part of it. 🐾

We are so proud of the RECOVER team and the work they have done!

It is unclear what they did but we are happy!

"We will never forget what Maine Veterinary Medical Center and Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary Clinic did for Sullivan. Because of them, our boy is home where he belongs."

Collaboration in action - We’re grateful to work alongside such dedicated teams who share the same commitment to doing what’s best for every pet. 💙
