  • Bite sized education and motivation

    Thank you to Dr Huber and the whole Ver Vault team for creating and providing content that is current and relevant in many areas and for a wide variety of people within our profession.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

161: Tech Tools for Vets 4: Heidi - AI Scribe, Voice Agents And Clinical Decision Support For Vets. With Dr Kieran McLeod
Q: What is the workflow around notes, context, and syncing changes between the vet note and downstream documents?
The host and Kieran discuss treating the veterinarian's note as the anchor or source of truth, with a workflow that allows edits in the note to propagate to documents, along with a resume/transcribe cycle and a sync changes feature to keep all outputs up to date.
157: Tech Tools for Vets 2: AI-Powered Learning with StudyAnything. With Hasitha Jayatilake
Q: What about adding content from multiple notes or courses into a single quiz?
At the moment, quizzes are generated per uploaded file or per selected topics/outcomes. Creating a quiz that combines content from multiple separate notes or courses into one is not supported yet but is identified as a potential use case for future development.
157: Tech Tools for Vets 2: AI-Powered Learning with StudyAnything. With Hasitha Jayatilake
Q: Is there a feature that adapts the difficulty of questions based on performance?
Currently, automatic dynamic progression to harder questions based on your performance is not built-in, but it is on the roadmap; you can manually select difficulty levels and regenerate questions from the question bank.
157: Tech Tools for Vets 2: AI-Powered Learning with StudyAnything. With Hasitha Jayatilake
Q: Can you summarize how Study Anything generates questions from uploaded content and how it relates to learning outcomes?
The tool uploads a document, extracts topics and learning outcomes, and then generates questions aligned to those outcomes. It starts with medium difficulty and uses the Bloom hierarchy to map questions to levels like remember, explain, and analyze, with short-answer prompts evaluated against key points.
154: Stop the Energy Drain: Productivity Coaching for Vets in Clinic Chaos. With Demir Bentley and Dr Ray Gates
Q: Why do you feel like you need Demir's help?
Ray expresses that he struggles with productivity due to ADHD and feels overwhelmed with the unpredictability of veterinary work, seeking ways to be more productive both inside and outside the clinic.
