Course Summary
The American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care’s (ACVECC) Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) has a vision to create a network of lead hospitals that seed development of trauma systems. These hospitals will work collaboratively to define high standards of care and disseminate information that improves trauma patient management efficiency and outcome. Veterinary Trauma Centers (VTCs) will contribute to a trauma registry that allows for continued advancement of trauma patient care.
The four aims of the trauma initiative are:
1. Enhancement of trauma patient care
2. Enhancement and promotion of research collaborations
3. Expansion and formalization of education on veterinary trauma
4. Enhancement of the visibility of veterinary specialty colleges
The VetCOT Education subcommittee and VetCOT Nursing subcommittee are also developing educational tools for utilization in veterinary hospitals and for nursing/technician staff, respectively. An annual ACVECC VetCOT Trauma and Critical Care conference is held in Las Vegas in conjunction with the Trauma, Critical Care & Acute Care Surgery conference.
