This blurb isn't really about us, since VetPace is me, Anthony Carr. I’m a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Medicine and Professor of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Canada.  I received my veterinary education at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich Germany. After 3 years in practice I returned to the US to complete an internship at the University of Missouri-Columbia and a residency at the UW-Madison. My main areas of interest are blood pressure, hemostasis, ECGs, and immune mediated disease. Having been in practice it has always been my goal to provide practical CE that you can start applying right away. Telemedicine is another area that I have enjoyed over the years. I feel it is a natural extension of my desire to provide CE in that it is the ideal form of CE, an individualized, case-based, interactive discussion.


Below is a list of my professional credentials relating to CE
