J.D. WHEAT VETERINARY ORTHOPEDIC RESEARCH LABORATORY conducts animal and human research dedicated to injury prevention and enhanced diagnostics for faster rehabilitation, healthier training and improved repair methods. In collaboration with the California Horse Racing Board the mission was to reduce the incidences of debilitating and fatal injuries at California racetracks and training facilities through research and training. eLearning modules were developed, from evidenced-based research, to educate and train veterinarians and horse trainers on early detection of injury, pre-existing conditions that contribute to catastrophic injury and methods for rehabilitation of equine athletes. As a companion piece to the eLearning modules; technical notes highlight information for quick reference while in the field. Downloadable files available in the resources menu inside the modules and on both the VORL and Racing Safety Websites. —Website development, project management, copy writing
