Due to various veterinary practice act regulations throughout the US, some interactive/in-person content will be restricted for non-veterinary individuals.

Yes, the more the merrier! You will need to contact us directly to set this up - each person will need to have their own individual log on. We can also develop special group or topic sessions, case review, or a custom-program. Our goal is to serve you & meet you (and your team) where you are.

Why birdbrain.vet?
Why birdbrain.vet?
Because we love veterinary diagnostic/laboratory learning & love sharing our passion for it. And, this is our attempt to present it in a hopefully accessible and friendly way with the ultimate goal of empowering & supporting you!
We understand there are a lot of website & CE options out there, not to mention you are busy (with vet med plus life!) - so providing something a bit different, approachable, and more personal is the hope. Besides, we believe in you - let's share a small part of the vet med world and champion each other along the way!

What if I have a specific question, suggestion, or topic request?
That would be fantastic! We are all about member feedback, and welcome ideas & future directions.
Birdbrain comes from a place of wanting to support you - whether it be specific pages that provide an approach to a result or finding, birdcall community forum, office hours where you (and others) ask questions of a specialist and have a discussion about the realities of vet med, or CE (coming fall 2026) that allows you to ask questions in advance of a topic. The community forum, office hours, & CE are available only to veterinary professionals + students.

What sources are used?
What sources are used?
The information on birdbrain.vet is a compilation of very, very many journal articles, textbooks, websites, discussions with each other (& other specialists), our collective + individual clinical experience, and topics that came about because someone asked us a question (and so we decided to learn more!).
It's meant to be a site that is continuously modified with monthly additions - so if it looks like there are topics 'missing,' it's because we coming up with more ideas that there are hours in a day. Stay tuned & make suggestions! Office hours & the forum are great for discussing topics not yet covered.

What about AI?
AI had a different meaning in veterinary school - IYKYK.
We understand that AI is the talk and plenty of platforms are being created with AI or are focused on AI assisting you in your job. But AI is not our model & this website creation, mistakes, broken links, silly infographics and all, is ~98% AI-free. We are all about empowering + supporting you, because for every AI model making the news that it's doing a better job than medical professionals, there are many more that don't make the news with the opposite ending, i.e. clinical experience coupled with knowledge + support are superior. Besides, we'd rather interact with real people.
