AI is quickly becoming part of everyday veterinary practice. In this session, we’ll look at how AI can support your clinic in real, practical ways: from helping with marketing and client communication to improving medical records, diagnostics, and workflow efficiency. We’ll break down what’s possible now, what’s coming soon, and how to decide what makes sense for your team.
Learning Objectives:
-
Marketing & Communication:Learn how AI tools can help with social media posts, responding to online reviews, client messaging, and building consistent marketing workflows—without losing the personal touch.
-
Diagnostics:See how AI shows up in imaging tools, lab data interpretation, and early disease detection—and understand where it can support (not replace) clinical judgment.
-
Medical Records:Explore how AI can help with transcription, SOAP note creation, discharge instructions, and reducing documentation time.
-
Client Support:Discover tools that help with reminders, FAQs, triage support, and creating clearer, faster communication with pet owners.
-
Putting It Into Practice:Learn how to evaluate which AI tools are worth trying, how to start small, and how to introduce new technology to your team.
Takeaway: You’ll leave with a practical understanding of how AI can be used in your practice today—and a few simple steps to get started right away.
