Practical veterinary bandaging education, built for the people doing the work.

The Veterinary Bandaging Academy is the next evolution of Brian’s Bandages education: an online learning community dedicated to veterinary bandaging, wound care, specialty techniques, and real-world clinical problem solving.

Created by Brian Goleman, CVT, the Academy is designed to give veterinary technicians, assistants, students, doctors, and hospital teams a place to build practical skills they can take directly back to their patients.

What You’ll Find Inside

  • Bandaging 101: materials, bandage layers, Modified Robert-Jones bandages, splints, common mistakes, and complications.
  • Advanced Bandaging: Spica splints, Ehmer slings, Velpeau slings, casts, and specialty techniques.
  • Wound Care: wound assessment, lavage, debridement, contact layers, granulation tissue, bandage sores, and case-based learning.
  • Tie-Overs: when to use them, how to construct them, and how to manage them effectively.
  • RACE-Approved Courses: continuing-education opportunities with certificates available for eligible Academy courses.
  • Case Library: practical examples that connect technique with real veterinary patients.

Built for Veterinary Professionals

The Academy is designed for learners at multiple experience levels—from students and new assistants learning the fundamentals to experienced technicians and veterinary teams looking to sharpen advanced bandaging and wound-care skills.

More Than a Single Course

The Veterinary Bandaging Academy is being built as an ongoing learning resource. Members will be able to return to step-by-step education, technique demonstrations, practical resources, clinical cases, and an expanding library of new material.
