VetEmCrit Academy – Early 2026 Membership Schedule (Preliminary)

Disclaimer: This is a preliminary schedule. Topics, speakers, and dates may shift as we get closer to launch.

We’re launching the new VetEmCrit Membership in January 2026, and for those planning to join (or thinking about jumping in), here’s an early look at the schedule for the first few months so you can plan ahead.

Quick reminder: every session will be recorded, so you can catch up anytime if you can’t attend live. 

January 1

Registration opens. New members will immediately gain access to several prerecorded sessions, including:

1. A concise neonatal/pediatric emergency video series (featuring an overview of the newly released RECOVER neonatal resuscitation guidelines).
2. The first three bite-size videos on the diagnosis and treatment of shock.
3. The point-of-care ultrasound library.
4. The first two videos in the non-traditional acid–base analysis series.
5. Access to the Electrolyte and Acid-Base Mastery Certification course with all its features and benefits.
6. Your first optional homework assignment (ideal for anyone who wants to dive deeper right away).

Depending on where our new members are located, we may occasionally adjust session times. Since most current members are in the USA, Canada, and Europe, we’re starting with meetings around 12–1 PM US Central, which tends to work well across all three regions. If we see a substantial number of members joining from Asia or Australia/New Zealand, we’ll add additional session times that better fit those time zones.

The regular membership price will be $47 per month, offered as a single, all-inclusive plan. Everyone on the waitlist will receive a 20% discount for their first three months of membership.
