Pamela Baker BSc, DVM
Veterinary Technician Program, Seneca College

Accurate and thorough microscopic evaluation of blood films can generate valuable diagnostic information. Emphasis will be placed on practical skills that can be used in every day clinical practice to maximize the yield from each patient’s sample.

This full-day learning session will include the following:

Clinical case material will be presented using a video-microscope while the participants examine samples from the same patient using double-headed microscopes. Instructional PowerPoint presentations and interactive hands-on activities will complement these learning objectives.

Dr. Pamela Baker earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Guelph in 1981 and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Ontario Veterinary College in 1986. She was the recipient of a NSERC grant for heartworm research and was awarded the Coopers Agropharm Award for proficiency in Clinical Parasitology. Following six years of small animal practice, Dr. Baker joined the faculty of the Veterinary Technician Program at Seneca College as a full time professor. During the past fourteen years Dr. Baker has taught a wide range of subjects, but is best known for her passion for laboratory medicine. She has continued to practice small animal medicine on a part-time basis, allowing her to integrate actual case material into her course curriculum. Over the past seven years, Dr. Baker has been a popular speaker at numerous events including the OAVT conference, the Atlantic Provinces Veterinary Conference and Western Veterinary Conference. Her energetic presentation style and practical tips have been consistently well-received and well-reviewed by conference attendees.
