- Pain Medicine, A Course for the Veterinary Technician
(10 DVDs)
- Length: approximately 2 hours each
- Year: 2003
- Description: This course was produced
at Becker College by Gail Hartman, DVM and Alicia Z.
Kara, DVM, Dipl. ACVA. This is a 20-hour lecture series
in VHS format designed to teach pain medicine to veterinary
technicians. Supplemental reading materials and instructor
materials (exercises and exam questions) are provided
on a CD with the course. Covered topics include physiology,
assessment of pain, ethical and societal issues, farm
animal issues, drug treatments, non-pharmacological
treatments, and complementary and alternative treatments
(physical therapy/acupuncture). The course can be used
in modules, selecting the lectures that are most needed
(for example, a laboratory animal facility may not
wish to present complementary techniques or farm animal
issues). The veterinary technician will learn skills
that will enhance his/her ability to recognize pain
and to advocate for the patient.

- Humane Endpoints in Laboratory Animal Experimentation
- Year: 2006
- Description: The main goal of this
interactive training program is to increase the awareness
of and the implementation of humane endpoints. The
term "Humane endpoint" can be defined as
the point to which a research animal's pain and/or
distress is terminated, minimized or reduced by performing
humane euthanasia, terminating a painful procedure,
or giving treatment to relieve pain and/or distress.
The CD offers extensive information on mice and rats.
The first part contains chapters on normal behavior,
pain and distress, and recognition of clinical signs.
The next part contains information on pathology that
may help to give the correct assessment of suffering
and follow-up. The last and the most important part
describes the notion of "humane endpoints,"
reasons for applying humane endpoints, and an overview
of parameters which can be used when applying humane
endpoints. The responsibilities and validation of humane
endpoints are discussed and relevant laws, guidelines,
and reports are also included. The CD also offers more
than one hundred additional images and videos.
