Become one of the most in-demand professionals of the moment: expand your knowledge of Clinical Management of Complications in Large Animal Anesthesia with this complete online program"

In the last 20 years, Veterinary Anesthesia in Large Animals has experienced significant advances thanks to the introduction of new techniques and drugs, as well as the development of monitors and specialized anesthetic machines.

The introduction of novel surgical techniques has resulted in the need to develop new anesthetic protocols. There is a growing concern about the impact of anesthesia and analgesia on animal welfare and the final outcome of surgical procedures.

The Postgraduate diploma in Clinical Management of Complications in Large Animal Anesthesia is designed in response to the need for clinical veterinarians with greater expertise of the protocols and techniques relevant to this area. 

The teaching team for this Postgraduate diploma is made up of professionals specialized in Veterinary Anesthesiology in Large Animals, with extensive experience in teaching, both in undergraduate and graduate programs, most of them being university professors and graduates. These professors are practicing anesthesiologists at leading veterinary centers and directors or participants in various research projects, so that in addition to teaching and clinical work they also carry out research activities.

The topics covered in the Postgraduate diploma in Clinical Management of Complications in Large Animal Anesthesia have been selected with the aim of offering a complete course in anesthesia, so that the student develops specialized knowledge to safely address any situation requiring general or locoregional anesthesia and analgesia in ruminants, swine, camelids and equids. 

At present, one of the main problems affecting continuing postgraduate specialization is its compatibility with work and personal life. Current professional demands make it difficult to achieve quality, specialized education in person, so the online format will allow students to combine this specialized training with their daily professional practice, without losing their connection to training and specialization.
