FASTVet is a bedside ultrasound training platform for veterinary professionals, centered on the Global FAST® system. It integrates AFAST® (abdominal), TFAST® (thoracic/cardiopulmonary), and Vet BLUE® (lung) into a standardized, repeatable veterinary point-of-care ultrasound workflow. Its positioning is not as a general imaging course, but as a clinically focused approach for quickly obtaining useful information in emergency care, triage, preoperative screening, and treatment monitoring.
The platform offers three types of learning: Premium Membership, online courses, and in-person hands-on training. Members can access live and recorded webinars, short videos, emergency/critical care and internal medicine blogs, and AFAST/TFAST/Vet BLUE video libraries. Online courses include AFAST, TFAST, Vet BLUE/Global FAST, and more. The main text notes that courses can be studied in 1-hour modules and include quizzes; the courses are labeled as RACE-approved CE. In-person training is available at FASTVet Academy locations such as Austin, or a FASTVet-certified Lead Instructor can teach at a clinic. The main text states that the in-person Global FAST course currently provides 9 hours of RACE-approved CE.
The clearly disclosed price is for Premium Membership: $99/year. Members can also receive discounts on RACE-approved online courses. However, the scraped text does not list specific prices for individual online courses, in-person courses, on-site clinic training, or textbooks, so the total learning cost still requires further inquiry.
Its strengths are that the courses are highly specialized and strongly clinically oriented, emphasizing standardized views, workflows, and scoring—well suited for turning ultrasound into a core everyday skill. Founder Dr. Gregory Lisciandro holds DVM, ABVP, and ACVECC credentials, has been involved in research and international teaching, and developed AFAST, TFAST, and Vet BLUE, giving the faculty strong credibility. A large amount of student feedback also centers on being able to “use it as soon as they return to the clinic.” The downsides are that ultrasound skills depend heavily on hands-on technique, so purely online learning may not be sufficient; in-person training is mainly in the United States, making it more costly for international learners; and pricing transparency is limited beyond the membership fee.
It is best suited for practicing veterinarians, emergency and critical care veterinarians, general practitioners, residents, animal hospital teams with ultrasound equipment, and clinicians who want to improve their abilities in triage, thoracic/abdominal effusion screening, lung assessment, and preoperative screening. It is not suitable for ordinary pet owners or learners without a clinical veterinary background.
