The Veterinary Bioscience Institute (VBI) is an innovative
company that is changing the future of experimental and veterinary surgical and
biomethodology training. This training is required by law for the biomedical
community in the European Union, and the United States, which includes industry,
academia and nonprofit institutions. Training is also required by accreditation
organizations for technical and medical staff to keep their licensure in good
standing, as well as re-enforce that the highest standard of practice is being
implemented. VBI provides cost-effective and highly efficient surgical and
biomethodology training programs, which meet regulatory and industry
regulations and also fulfill continuing education requirements.

VBI does more than just training. We have developed a unique,
comprehensive and objective competency assessment program and related scoring
system that is an adaptation for the biomedical community of the validated
system used in human medicine and surgery. In addition, VBI is the first
educator for the biomedical community that successfully utilizes a validated
human model for knowledge transfer: online surgical training followed by
hands-on training. This method is further enhanced through the use of VBI’s
objective, surgical competency assessment program. This comprehensive approach
results in more competent surgeons, better surgical outcomes, improved animal
welfare and better scientific data. In fact, VBI has the first publication in
the laboratory animal field showing that their validated method of online surgical
education equals live, hands on training.

VBI is revolutionizing the standards of surgical excellence
by introducing and validating innovations such as rodent laparoscopy,
colonoscopy and thorascopy. These processes are major refinements to standard
procedures, and VBI is incredibly proud to be leading the charge.

Team members of VBI are heavily published in a variety of
subject matter, and most are veterinarians with post doctoral degrees.

VBI has become a permanent fixture as invited speakers at almost
all national and international laboratory animal meetings, and our lectures are
being cited in a variety of ways within the biomedical community. VBI also
performs a number of hands-on workshops at these meetings which have received
numerous accolades.

While raising the bar on continuing education standards, VBI
also focuses on the three R’s of reduction, replacement and refinement. VBI is
revolutionizing continuing education for the biomedical community. Let us show
you how.
