VECCUS

Our goal is to bring together clinicians, technicians, and students from all specialties and styles of veterinary practice who share a common passion for the use of point of care ultrasound. Our mission is to promote the safe and effective use of veterinary POCUS and increase its use in all practice settings, by all levels of users, and improve training programs and standards of care in the application of veterinary POCUS. We support further research exploring and validating the application of clinical veterinary POCUS by specialists and non-specialists alike as a safe evidence-based practice, and support the development of innovative ultrasound techniques and education methods to improve veterinary patient care. We hope to encourage and support veterinarians and related health care professionals to integrate and utilize veterinary POCUS with success and confidence. We proudly encourage novices, faculty, and students who have a desire to increase their ultrasound confidence to ask questions, challenge and hopefully embrace veterinary POCUS. We are hoping to be able to sponsor veterinary POCUS research projects and workshops in the future.
