Medical Behavior Training: Where We Are, What We’ve Learned, and What’s Next

Look how far we have come! Medical behavior training is more than just supporting routine care.

In this video, we examine how medical behaviors have evolved to support a wide range of functions, from diagnostics and treatment to triage and urgent procedures, across various species. You'll learn how training smaller, component behaviors, such as targeting, stationing, and body part presentation, can accelerate progress toward complex goals.

We also look at why strong veterinary collaboration is essential, how to build resilience into your plans, and the critical role of shaping plans that reflect the actual contingencies maintaining behavior. Plus, we share what’s on the horizon: opt-out behaviors based on degrees of freedom, benchmarks by taxa, and expanded industry-wide documentation and sharing.

Whether you’re troubleshooting a current challenge or planning for the future, this discussion offers actionable insights grounded in behavior science and real-world experience.
