“It was good and I would encourage most PI/Vets to attend this. It is worth the money.”

“I think it was a very good webinar with a lot of good movies that showed in detailed how to do the catheterization. It's also great that we are able to see the movies again if we log on to the page.”

If you are looking for a list of available courses, please scroll down the page. Electronic-learning (E-learning) has been increasingly promoted as an effective and efficient method of teaching. Research has shown that even surgical procedures taught in a virtual classroom improve and refine the surgical skills of new and experienced surgeons. On-line training provides several advantages. It offers a single experience that accommodates various distinct learning styles, and it can target specific needs and learning preferences of an individual through learning style tests. Online training is self-paced, allowing fast learners to bypass instruction that may seem redundant, while novice learners can go at a slower pace. Online courses provide on-demand availability. The interactivity of modules engages and guides users through the training. On-line training gives confidence to the students through immediate feedback and quick reference materials that are always available. It achieves this by providing consistent content delivery and access on a global scale. E-learning can immediately provide certification upon course completion. Web modules, unlike textbooks, can continually incorporate rapid advances in biomedical knowledge and technology without needing to continually purchase new textbooks.

Online Training Courses

VBI’s online courses have a set number of modules, usually 12-15 depending on the course.  The courses are designed with pre-chapter questions, to focus the attention of the participant, which then progresses into up-to-date text with high quality photos and videos.  There are questions at the end of each course that must be successfully answered in order to receive continuing education credits. The number of credits for each course is determined by the continuing education provider, but is typically 6 credits per course. Longer courses will be worth more credits. At any time, faculty can be reached through e-mail at VBI.

These videos are informative without the need of context from course materials, and the entire library is easily searchable by subject matter or video title.

Testimonials

“34” “The diverse course offerings by The Veterinary Bioscience Institute (VBI) are an amazing resource for all medical professionals, regardless of experience level. I recently attended the Rodent Osmotic Mini-pump Implantation course which was an excellent summation of basic surgical techniques and technical product information, all delivered in a modern and well rounded medium. The combination of video, live conversations with surgeons, and beautifully presented slides, enabled a learning environment tantamount to a live classroom setting. I’d strongly suggest this course to any user of ALZET Osmotic Pumps or those who desire to learn more about basic implantation surgery.”
