Rational Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice: A Game-Changer for Patient Care

The practice of veterinary medicine is fraught with crucial decisions that significantly impact patient outcomes and standards of care. From determining whether to admit patients displaying symptoms to deciding on treatment options, the choices made by veterinary clinicians can be a matter of life and death. However, many veterinarians rely on instinct and existing cultural norms rather than evidence-based decision-making principles, leading to irrational decisions, institutional inertia, and suboptimal patient outcomes.

This is where Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice comes in – a pioneering guide that equips veterinary professionals with the skills to make rational, informed decisions. Rooted in normative ethics, this comprehensive resource poses essential questions and provides a framework for answering them, empowering clinicians to optimize patient care and transform their clinical performance.

This indispensable guide covers:

• Detailed discussions of key issues informed by extensive clinical experience and evidence
• In-depth analysis of critical decision determinants, including time of day, patient weight, and criteria for stopping treatment
• Essential insights into clinical decision-making and clinical reasoning

Ideal for veterinary practitioners, students, and clinical skills instructors, Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice is an invaluable resource for anyone committed to delivering exceptional patient care and staying ahead in the field.
