Rapid diagnostics have quietly moved from the reference lab into the exam room, changing how veterinary clinicians work up cases in real time. Point-of-care analyzers now deliver results in minutes rather than hours, allowing teams to diagnose, plan, and treat during the same visit. For general practices, that shift affects everything from emergency triage to routine wellness workflows.
Vet and Tech is hosting a free 0.5 CE, RACE-approved webinar on August 20, 2026, exploring 10 point-of-care tests that deserve more attention in modern veterinary medicine. Led by Dr. Bonnie Bragdon, the live session covers the history of POC testing, its current clinical applications, accuracy considerations, and the practical advantages of bringing more diagnostic work in-house.
The session is designed for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary nurses, and practice managers who want to strengthen their diagnostic decision-making. Registration is free and open now.
