About
━━━━━━━━━━━━ overview ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This eClass is a collection of 12 lectures on the basics of CBC and blood smears that veterinarians and pet animal nurses should know, as considered by Seigo Ogasawara, a veterinarian who is an American clinical pathologist. The purpose of this "CBC/Blood Smear Edition" is to enable veterinarians and pet nurses to confidently evaluate and diagnose CBC and blood smears in their daily medical practice. In addition, you will be able to educate new and junior staff based on evidence. By acquiring this basic knowledge, pet animal nurses, whose roles and responsibilities will expand with national certification, will be able to share roles with veterinarians, leading to improved work efficiency in clinical settings. I hope that I can contribute to making the profession of veterinarian/pet nurse a lifelong career. ━━━ the purpose ━━━ Veterinarian: - Completely review the basics of CBC and blood smears, and be able to make accurate diagnoses in daily clinical settings. ・Able to provide proven education to junior veterinarians and pet animal nurses. Pet nurse: - Ability to properly evaluate blood smears and report accurate percentage measurements to veterinarians. - Pet nurses with national qualifications can solidify their knowledge of CBC and blood smears, enabling them to fulfill their responsibilities as medical professionals. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Now that pet nurses have become a national qualification, there may be more opportunities to think about the division of labor. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If veterinarians and pet nurses have common knowledge, this separation will go better. CBC and blood smears are one of the first tasks that new employees handle. Having this basic knowledge as a common understanding will lead to a smooth handover of work. ━━━━━━ Lecturer introduction ━━━━━━ ◎Mr. Seigo Ogasawara American Veterinary Pathology Clinical Pathologist IDEXX Laboratories Ogasawara Dog and Cat Hospital ━━━━━━━━━ Recommended for these people ━━━━━━━━━ ・Those who want to perform blood tests correctly ・Those who want to correctly evaluate CBC/blood smear ・New veterinarian, pet nurse
