Description:
This presentation will provide an overview of best practices in designing selection systems based on the organizational psychology literature. Specifically, I will review research demonstrating the evidence of implicit bias inherent within typical hiring approaches. I will then discuss the business case for reducing these biases and improving diversity within organizations. Lastly, I will discuss effective recruitment and selection strategies for improving employee diversity and success.
Course Objectives:
- Learn how to design valid selection systems
- Learn how to evaluate bias and inequity within these systems
- Learn evidence-based strategies for increasing diversity in organizations
- CR
Speaker Info:
Isaac Sabat’s program of research broadly focuses on understanding and improving the working lives of stigmatized employees. He is particularly interested in examining strategies in which these employees can engage, such as disclosing or acknowledging their identities, to effectively remediate the workplace obstacles that they face. He has conducted various interrelated projects that examine how the effectiveness of expressing one’s identity is impacted by the extent to which stigmas are previously known, visible, or discovered by others over time. This is a novel area, given that disclosures have previously been conceptualized as a dichotomous, all-or-nothing phenomenon. This work has been published in Journal of Business and Psychology, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Vocational Behavior, and Harvard Business Review.

Join us in a safe space where you can talk, share, brainstorm and commiserate over various clinical topics with fellow VECCS members!
Topic: My Hospital is Swamped and Short Staffed…..What do I do?!?!
Description: With many veterinary emergency rooms being overwhelmed and understaffed, many hospitals in the country have taken to using emergency pause systems to help manage the cases they have. Using information collected from a national survey of VECCS members on the frequency of use, nature and impact of veterinary emergency room pause systems, Dr. Linklater will lead an informal and active discussion on this sometimes overwhelming and challenging topic.
Moderator: Dr. Andrew Linklater, DVM, DACVECC

By: Gregory R. Lisciandro, DVM, DABVP, DACVECC
Description:
We will discuss the use of Global FAST point-of-care ultrasound for raising the suspicion and for the detection of traditionally difficult conditions focusing on pulmonary and cardiac conditions. Global FAST is the combination of AFAST, TFAST and Vet BLUE as a single ultrasound examination that uniquely screens the abdomen and thorax including heart (TFAST fundamental echocardiography) and lung (Vet BLUE). By integrating findings, cardiac and lung conditions otherwise suspected or missed based on physical exam, laboratory testing, and radiography are “seen” (more evidence-based) using the Global FAST approach.
Course Objectives:
- Understand the views of Global FAST
- Understand AFAST and its abdominal fluid scoring system
- Understand TFAST fundamental echocardiography
- Understand Vet BLUE, its regional, pattern-based approach, B-line scoring system, and visual lung language for signs of consolidation
- Understand how to integrate information by Global FAST for detecting traditionally difficult conditions
Speaker Info:
Dr. Gregory Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ABVP, Dipl. ACVECC, attended Cornell, completed an internship at The Animal Medical Center, New York City, and emergency and critical care residency at the Emergency Pet Center, San Antonio, Texas. He has practiced veterinary medicine as a general practitioner, emergency veterinarian, and then as a specialist in emergency and critical care. He developed AFAST® and TFAST® in 2005, and Vet BLUE® and Global FAST® in 2010. Global FAST® ultrasound is a unique ultrasound examination used to rapidly screen both the abdominal and thoracic cavities including heart and lung. He has authored over 20 peer-reviewed Global FAST®-related clinical studies. He is chapter author and editor of Point-of-care Ultrasound Techniques now in its 2nd edition and has served as an ACVECC At-large Regent, member of the Scientific Committee, the Student Certification Committee, and VetCOT. He has lectured and directed Global FAST® ultrasound scanning workshops around the world and continues to lead in publishing clinically relevant, point-of-care ultrasound research.
