 Using VetCompanion in teaching and clinical practice at UTK can be part of the effort to meet the new AVMA COE Standard 5. Information Resources: "The program must be able to demonstrate, using its outcomes assessment data, that students are competent in retrieving, evaluating, and efficiently applying information through the use of electronic and other appropriate information technologies."

Students are invited to compare sample topic  VetCompanion with other information support sources for clinics. 

Some things to consider: VetCompanion is available on mobile devices, accepts no advertisements, and provides levels of evidence behind the recommendations for each disease topic.  See video for the way Summary, Causes and Risk Factors, Differential Diagnosis, Diagnosis and Screening, Treatment, Follow-up, Prognosis and Evidence are presented for each topic.

TRY UPTODATE for evidence-based info. especially for small animals:  Veterinary Companion the only service that offers veterinary medicine what human health care providers have via services like  Up-to-Date.
