Sources, originality & review status

How this course was built

Originality

All lesson text, chart plates, cases, calculators and tools are original GlobalVet material written from published veterinary clinical-pathology knowledge. Published schemes are taught with attribution and are never renamed as ours: reference intervals follow ASVCP guidance, CKD staging follows the IRIS guidelines, and the named textbook tables keep their authors. The six named reading methods (S.M.E.A.R., C.L.U.E., S.E.D.I., P.R.E.P., C.H.E.M. and S.E.N.D.) are GlobalVet teaching tools, not published clinical guidelines. Every morphology shown to a learner is a real credited micrograph; charts are typographic and depict no cells.

Review status

Every interval, cut-off and answer key in this course traces to a named textbook, guideline or reference listed below. They are educational reference values: use your own laboratory's interval before relying on any number, and verify drug, dose and protocol decisions against a current formulary. Texts sometimes give a range of values; check your own laboratory's interval. Report an error: info@globalvetco.com.

Real micrographs

Every micrograph carries its author, source and license on the credits page. Fields are released only after a photo review; a field that does not pass is never shown, never drawn and never replaced by a sketch.
