Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: A Day in the Life of a Dermatologist utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

This course examines the diagnosis, treatment, and client education of dermatological disorders of the dog and cat. It explores common and uncommon skin diseases such as pemphigus, discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic lupus erythematosus, erythema multiforme, Steven's Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, and epitheliotropic lymphoma. Allergic dermatitis is rounds out the review.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • explain pattern recognition to help narrow down differential diagnoses, which will help to improve diagnostic and treatment recommendations
  • outline methods of diagnosis and management common and uncommon skin disorders
  • discuss the pathogenesis and diagnosis of cutaneous adverse food reaction and atopic dermatitis
  • outline a multimodal approach to therapy in the management of atopic dermatitis and why treatment failures occur
  • explain how to improve client expectations and treatment buy-in
