Interactive Discussion of Clinical Cases with LeishVet Members

Participants will be divided into small working groups of 8–10 veterinarians seated at dedicated tables. The workshop will run simultaneously in two rooms, allowing participants to take part in this hands-on experience.

Each room will work on:

• 2 clinical cases of canine leishmaniosis (CanL)
• 1 clinical case of feline leishmaniosis (FeL)

Every case will be supervised by experienced LeishVet members, who will guide discussions and support participants throughout the exercise.

Before the session, participants will receive a written case summary including:

• signalment,
• anamnesis,
• and clinical examination findings.

Case summaries may also be available on the congress website one week before the event, allowing attendees to familiarise themselves with the cases in advance.

Each table will nominate a spokesperson who will interact with the faculty during the final discussion.

During the workshop, each group will be asked to:

• identify the main clinical problems,
• discuss possible differential diagnoses,
• decide which laboratory and imaging tests are necessary,
• evaluate patient status,
• and propose treatment and follow-up plans.

Participants will have 30 minutes to analyse their case together. During this time, LeishVet members will rotate between tables, answer questions, provide requested diagnostic results, and stimulate discussion.

The goal is to recreate the collaborative thinking process that takes place in everyday clinical practice.

Following the group work, the LeishVet faculty will present and discuss each case with the entire audience using clinical images, laboratory findings, and supporting slides.

This interactive discussion will allow participants to compare approaches, challenge decisions, and explore different diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in a practical and engaging way.

To conclude the session, participants will take part in a live interactive quiz.

The questionnaire will include case-based questions designed to reinforce key learning points and encourage audience participation through real-time voting and discussion.
