If you're new to my channel, I am Igor Yankin, a small animal emergency and critical care specialist based in Texas.

You might know me as the founder of vetemcrit.com, where I’ve spent the last several years creating evidence-based tools, case discussions, and training for veterinarians working on the front lines of emergency and critical care.

My story in ECC started back in 2010 when I worked full-time ER shifts. After five intense years, I completed a small animal rotating internship at Oregon State University, followed by an ECC residency at the University of Florida. Since 2019, I’ve been practicing as a veterinary criticalist.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that what most ER vets and techs need isn’t just more information — it’s a way to connect, discuss real cases, and keep growing together without judgment. That realization inspired me to create something new — a space where emergency and critical care professionals can come together, learn, and support each other in a meaningful way.

That space is now called the VetEmCrit Academy — a growing community for those who want to stay sharp, confident, and connected in ECC practice.
