Dental Radiology, Do The Little Things Add Up?

This lecture is designed to enhance the ability of veterinarians and technicians to interpret dental radiographs and provide appropriate treatment options. By the end of this session, attendees will feel more confident and comfortable reading dental radiographs, allowing for improved diagnosis and patient care.

By focusing on practical examples and emphasizing a step-by-step approach to interpreting dental radiographs, this lecture will equip veterinary professionals with the skills needed to confidently assess dental health and select appropriate treatments for their patients.

Speaker

Dr. Robert Furman DVM

Dr. Robert Furman grew up in Southern California and attended California Polytechnic University Pomona for undergraduate training. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a pre-vet option. He started working as a dental technician for Southern California Veterinary Dental Specialties and Dr. Niemiec in 1998. Working with Dr. Niemiec gave Dr. Furman the opportunity to educate others through lecturing and hands-on training. It was during this time that his passion for veterinary dentistry grew.

Dr. Furman graduated from the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine, Scotland, in 2008. He is a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and a Board Certified Veterinary Dentist of the American and European Veterinary Dental Colleges. Dr. Furman has worked with Dr. Niemiec for over two decades. He has lectured extensively on dentistry throughout the world as well as authored several articles and chapters. Although Dr. Furman performs procedures from all aspects of dentistry, his professional interests include maxillofacial surgery, restoratives, and orthodontics. Dr. Furman also volunteers his time to help zoos, wildlife rehab centers, sanctuaries, and aquariums and has worked on bears, lions, tigers, sea otters, sea lions, monkeys, baboons, skunks, wolves, cougars, leopards, bobcats, meerkats, prairie dogs, and gorillas.

In efforts to increase access to dentistry, Dr. Furman opened our Ontario location in 2010, our Irvine and Santa Barbra locations in 2011, and our Ventura location in 2022. Recently, our Irvine location has doubled in size, allowing for more dentists and decreasing our lead time for scheduling appointments and procedures.

In his free time, Dr. Furman enjoys restoring classic cars, cycling, hiking, and traveling. He loves spending time with his family — his wife, Yenlie, a local veterinary neurologist, Labradors Trevor and Penny, cats Jasmine and Theodore, and his favorite Frenchie Taliah.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a registered Roo User to attend this Free CE Event?

No! Roo CE Events are for the Veterinary Community — NO STRINGS ATTACHED! All veterinarians and technicians are welcome to attend whether they're Roo Users or not. Roo CE Events are completely free, and you're not committed to join by attending.

Does Roo cost anything?

No! It’s completely free for vets. It costs nothing to join, and there are no membership fees or other costs. You’ll only make money with Roo.

Is there a minimum amount of hours or shifts I need to work?

No! You have complete control over your schedule. Only work when you want, period. Take as much time off as you like, Roo will always be here for you.

Does Roo require a non-compete?

No! Roo stands for the freedom of vets everywhere. Therefore, Roo does not require vets to sign a non-compete to work through our platform.

Can hospitals see my search activity or contact info if I sign up?

Hospitals have no visibility into your profile, contact info, or search activity until you request a shift through Roo. Hospitals also have no way of seeing who is on the platform. Your activity is hidden from all Roo hospitals until you reach out to them.

When and how do I get paid?

Getting paid with Roo is fast and easy — immediately after you rate a shift, you’ll be paid via direct deposit in as little as two business days!

When you first join Roo, you’ll be prompted through a one-time setup where you fill out a W-9 form and link your bank account. After that, all payments are sent to you automatically, no waiting around and no chasing it down!

Does Roo withhold taxes from my paychecks?

No. As a relief veterinarian, taxes are not taken out of your income, so you’ll get paid every cent you see listed on the shift card. However, you will be responsible for paying taxes on this income at a later date, so we recommend setting some of your Roo earnings aside for tax payments.

Roo provides a number of resources and significant help with your taxes as an independent contractor, which you can find in our Tax Center. Roo's platform automatically keeps track of your earnings and milage to help you file taxes each year.

If I'm already employed full-time, should I still sign up with Roo?

Yes! Even if you're employed full-time, you can always pick up relief shifts to earn extra money. Relief work is also a great way to try new hospitals and specialties and learn from other doctors. Roo is free to join with no membership fees and no penalties for inactivity so you have nothing to lose!

Does Roo require liability insurance?

While Roo does not require you have personal liability insurance, we highly recommend getting your own coverage as you won’t be covered under the hospital’s policy as an independent contractor. Roo has teamed with the AVMA to offer PLIT plans that are affordable and convenient. You can get covered for a whole year for less than half of what you’ll make working just one shift!
