This month's CuraCore Academy Talks video and podcast address the burgeoning brouhaha about flea and tick products and their potential dangers -- not only for small domestic animals, but also for wildlife, honey bees, and humans. As it turns out, the neurotoxins that kill ectoparasites exhibit not-so-specific activity as we'd hoped. What does this mean for you, your staff, your clients, and your planet? Listen to the podcast today or subscribe to our CuraCore VET YouTube channel and watch the video upon its release. |

"eMAV was a fabulous experience from Day One. The curriculum was far more detailed and challenging than I expected, but because of that I gained an even greater respect for the field. It taught me to elevate my level of patient care by examining patients in a much more comprehensive way than I was ever taught prior. All of the instructors were not only phenomenal but inspiring, and their support of my career means the world!" Dr. Kristen Frevert

"The eMAV program was such a perfect fit for me. I was able to learn from home and apply everything as I went along in my practice. All of the instructors were helpful and approachable and I was able to engage them when I needed. The support from the Curacore team was constant and prompt. I truly appreciate the program and feel more than ready to tackle anything." Dr. Jon Nauss
