Join us for this intriguing MasterClass where we unpack the uncomfortable and often unspoken subject of errors, how to recognize, avoid and learn from them.

This 5-module series will consist of the following modules:


Module 1: From Pixels to Pathology: Lessons Learned from Errors Made in Veterinary Radiology
Diagnostic imaging errors can easily be proven retrospectively because of the permanent record – the image. This introductory module focusses on classifications, where, how and why errors and discrepancies occur. 

Module 2: It is your fault!
Join us as we look at errors in real-life equine cases such as unnecessary imaging, faulty reasoning, cognitive bias, visual & mental fatigue, workplace distractions/interruptions and environmental factors. Audience participation is strongly encouraged. Recommendations for error remedies and avoidance will be included. 

Module 3: It is not your fault! – Advanced & Multi-Modality Imaging
This case-based panel discussion will focus on errors in modality choice (CT has the highest miss rate), errors due to technical aspects, disparities between modalities and how lack of evidence can perpetuate and lead to faulty conclusions. We will discuss great cases! 

Module 4: AI-based Tools in Imaging
Most available AI aids center around imaging. This case-based, interactive panel discussion will focus on the validation, advantages, disadvantages and risks of AI tools in veterinary imaging. Background information on “how AI in imaging works” will also be included. 

Module 5: Use of Errors in Mentoring – The Consequences
Errors can be positive and valuable to the team. The impact and psychological toll on individuals will be discussed using case types seen. How to handle hard conversations, potential liability considerations and complaints to regulatory bodies will also be explored.
