While more common in small animal practice, the use of a veterinarian teletriage service to answer after-hours client calls is emerging in equine emergency care.
Join Shadi J. Ireifej, DVM, DACVS, Chief Medical Officer for VetTriage, and moderator Rob Franklin, DVM, DACVIM, for an exploration of video telehealth and its application in equine practice through an external service provider.
