Dr. Erin Binagia received her DVM degree from Texas A&M in 2015. She then completed an Emergency-focused Rotating Small Animal internship at what is now Arizona Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Center in Gilbert, Arizona and stayed as an emergency veterinarian the following year. She completed her residency training in Emergency and Critical Care at Michigan State University and passed her ACVECC board exam in 2020. Since finishing residency, she moved back to Texas and has been working as a locum criticalist at multiple hospitals in Texas and Arizona and an online consultant. She is also currently an adjunct professor at Texas A&M University. Her favorite part of veterinary medicine is teaching students, interns, and residents, and her clinical interests include anaphylaxis, toxicities, sepsis, tremor disorders, and tetanus. When not working she usually enjoys running and soccer, but lately has been spending quality time with her dogs, cats, and her brand new baby girl, Eloise.

Søren obtained his DVM from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) in Canada, completed an internship at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) in Canada, and a Residency in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care at Tufts University in Massachusetts. He became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC) in 2003. Former chief of veterinary ECC at the University of Montreal (2003-2008) he helped establish veterinary ECC in the province of Quebec. In January 2009 Søren accepted a position at the University of Calgary to help with curriculum development for the newly formed college of Veterinary Medicine, where he is currently employed as a Full Professor in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care. A recipient of numerous teaching, research, and speaker excellence awards, he has become an internationally recognized educator. A founding member of the veterinary emergency and critical care ultrasound (VECCUS) group he continues the promotion and education of veterinary ECC and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) globally through his numerous contributions to research, book chapters, journal publications, and work with various ACVECC, ECVECC, VECCS, ECVECC, and VetCOT committees. With the help of many great colleagues from Tufts and around the world, he co-developed the small animal FAST exam in 1999, followed by abdominal POCUS, and pleural space and lung (PLUS) exams, and continues to pioneer novel ultrasound training techniques and workshops for non-specialist practitioners. Along with POCUS, his research interests include veterinary education/simulation, hemorrhage, coagulation, resuscitation, and perfusion.

Dr. Tereza Stastny was born in the Czech Republic and grew up in Calgary, AB, Canada. She attended the University of Calgary earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Dr. Stastny completed a rotating internship at Texas A&M University and completed an emergency and critical care residency at Michigan State University. Dr. Stastny has a keen interest in respiratory physiology and mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal therapies, cardiac emergencies, and veterinary point-of-care ultrasound. She is passionate about teaching veterinary students and lecturing at conferences. She is currently the internship director at Arizona Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Centre (AVECCC) and Arizona Regional Intensive Care Specialty & Emergency Veterinary Center (ARISE), and is heavily involved in AVECCC's residency training program. Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Stastny enjoys trail running, traveling, hiking, and coaching youth soccer.
