NYSVMS
Register now for the NYSVMS Webinar Panel: How the latest AI apps dramatically improve your efficiency on December 10th from 7-8PM. You can save a great deal of time by using the latest generation of Artificial Intelligence powered tools. Join this webinar to hear from your colleagues who are reaping the benefits, and get practical tips about how to use them successfully. Dr. Gittelman, Dr Wylegala, and Dr. Massaro will show you how the latest generation of AI tools dramatically reduce the time it takes to maintain medical records compared to writing them yourself. These aren’t the dictation tools we featured last year. Now you can just record everything in the room on your phone and the AI will create a formatted SOAP together with other relevant notes and even a record of how you complied with Buoy’s law. Artificial Intelligence powered radiology tools raised some eyebrows when they first entered the market. Could they be trusted? Dr. Thompson will provide a radiologist’s perspective on how to take advantage of the latest tools and what credibility to give the results. Used correctly they can speed your way to a successful diagnosis.

When early-career associates feel financially secure, competing job offers dangling signing bonuses become less enticing. Financial confidence helps your doctors see their paycheck as more than a means for paying student loans – it becomes their bridge to achieving meaningful goals. Eligible associates must be NYSVMS members who graduated within the last 5 years and complete an introductory call with Mike Sabatino, CFP. Learn more at https://sabadoodle.com/.

Tips for getting senior horses with poor appetites to eat
The Horse
My 30-year-old mare went off her feed for several days and would only nibble on her free-choice hay and grass when out in the pasture. She just had her teeth floated recently and shows no signs of illness. I’m worried if she does not start eating her senior feed she will start to lose weight. What can I do to encourage her to start eating her grain again?
