Training and Courses
Knowledge is the most valuable of all tools; with it comes the power to think clearly, make sound decisions, and leverage manual skills. Most of all though, it enriches the ability to heal. Our goal is to open doors and empower veterinarians for lifelong success.
At Infiniti, we believe that we are all always students of medicine.
Infiniti’s educational offerings range from RoVR, a first-of-its-kind scalable virtual reality platform to teach veterinary surgical procedures, to our webinar series Doing the Rounds, featuring leading authorities in veterinary medicine. Infiniti also offers hands on workshops in a variety of formats throughout the world on technical skills as well as pre and post-operative management of patients.
Please visit Orthomed and neuromed to see the educational offerings from our orthopedic and neurology divisions.
