EDUCATION INTRODUCTION
Veterinary Infrared education (also known as thermography or thermology) has historically been limited. Many professionals do not understand the potential of the technology, how it can provide an overview of the entire patient, connecting a complex chain of events that leads to more effective investigation, prognosis and diagnosis. The benefits of using the technology and understanding its leading applications as well as limitations are not widely available nor offered in mainstream veterinary education. Vet-IR is passionate about filling this knowledge and skills gap in the industry, and is dedicated to the advancement of animal thermology education.
Our international team delivers a range of CPD courses for the professional sectors, including thermology imaging, veterinary interpretation programmes and an annual congresses for the academic community. In a few months we will launch a free membership platform for industry professionals that aims to educate, provide thermology advice and highlights the latest research data for paraprofessionals.
Vet-IR works to create a network of professionals that will be continually educated about these benefits, advancing applications and limitations, also ensuring there are opportunities for students to learn about the technology in formal education.
