🧐Oh! "I Cu: What To Do When You Spy Copper Associated Hepatopathy" presented by Samantha Porath-Broman was a perfect end to our conference.

Love learning about a condition we don't see a ton of, but in internal medicine is definitely something we deal with.

"To Seize or Not to Seize" that is the question Christine Weaver asked us in her lecture today!

And remember not all blue berries are Blueberries.

12/11/2023

Way to go Jessie Laguna! Loved this presentation on "More Than Just a Blood Draw". Great tips and reminders on sample handing and options.

12/11/2023

We love Veterinary Internal Medicine Nursing's Laura Jones and her amazing presentation on "Feline AKI: More than Fluids and Furosemide"

Definitely feel smarter and it's always good reminding us how to work at the top of our game! Can't wait to share this on demand! 🤓😍

This morning feels a little surreal. Jordan Porter and I are hosting our first conference. I still can't believe we did it.

I'm so thankful for everyone who helped make this happen. The speakers are Rock Stars and I can't wait to hear their lectures.⭐⭐⭐

And a special shout out to Samantha Porath-Broman who worked hard and got us our sponsor. Thank you Sam for being amazing and keeping me on track this last month. We couldn't have done it without you. ❤️❤️❤️

I'll be on IT duty today, here's hoping it runs as smooth as possible. 🤣

And yes, it's 5 am and I'm up. Nothing like a little anxiety to make sure you don't get a decent night's sleep! 🤣

Here's to the inaugural IMFVT Fall 2023 Conference and here's to many more!!!

Today, we celebrate our furry, four-legged companions who bring so much joy and love into our lives. 🐶 Whether they're wagging their tails, giving sloppy kisses, or just snuggling up beside us, dogs truly are a person's best friend.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the unconditional love and loyalty they shower us with every day. 🥰 If you have a dog, share a picture or a heartwarming story about them, and let's spread the happiness they bring to the world!

Remember to treat our furry friends with kindness and respect not just today, but every day. 🌟
