No one teaches veterinarians how and when to use allergy tests.
Instead, they just market them to you.
And, then the information doesn't always translate into immunotherapy prescriptions that could actually help patients because the knowledge on how to do that just doesn't exist [until now].
This is why I created this course. I want to change this very small little part of veterinary medicine - for the better. I want to help you understand when, how, and why to consider allergen tests in practice. And, I want you to help your patients improve because you see the value of allergen-specific immunotherapy.
They wanted to educate veterinarians just like you on this important issue.
They see a world where more allergic patients are on allergen-specific immunotherapy.
They are committed to providing top-quality information about testing and immunotherapy.
I got you.
"Thank you, Dr. Painter, for helping me to be excited about dermatology again! As a GP in rural Michigan (and in my exhausted toddlerx2 mom era), I was in kind of "slump" and have been feeling discouraged about work and derm cases in general. I found and completed your ASIT course through VetHive (also amazing) and couldn't wait to start this course, and your cat course as well. Thank you for making it so applicable, you've really made a difference in my life and career! It's reinvigorating and just helps my morale when I can learn new things and feel more confident. Thank you again for doing what you do!"

"This module was worth the price of admission! I've done both of the other courses already (Medication Masters and Cat Course) - and this really distilled all the info into a practical, simple way to address each patient!"

"I like how you have broken the information down into easy-to-understand and remember components. We have also lost all our local dermatologists so -unfortunately - very few of my clients will even consider referral at this point. This helps me communicate with them about the options."
Dr. Amber Aroner
"Loved your Medication Masters course and am back for more! Also - you could get away with charging way more for the 6 hours of CE -not that I am down for the $99!"
