In-house Hematology Essentials: Practical hematology for veterinary clinics
 
Sharpen your in-house diagnostic skills in this focused, hands-on workshop designed for veterinary professionals. This 4-hour session, conducted in collaboration with IDEXX Laboratories and led by Dr Rita Chang and Dr Ingrid Wu, combines essential hematology principles with practical microscopy training, equipping you with the confidence to prepare, evaluate, and interpret blood samples accurately in your own clinic.
