Description

Tackle the daily challenges you may face in Cardiac Ultrasound in Small Animals with this high-level program designed by and for veterinarians"

##IMAGE##

Echocardiographic study is very dependent on the observer, so the module will provide the keys to minimize these situations as much as possible.  

Throughout this program the different imaging methods used in cardiac ultrasound, through which we obtain the necessary measurements for the diagnosis of heart disease. 

Having studied the basics of cardiac ultrasound, we will focus on how to evaluate and diagnose the main cardiac conditions for which echocardiography is one of the main tools for diagnosis, evaluation and patient follow-up.   

During these weeks we will address the most common cardiac diseases that we can describe with echocardiography in both dogs and cats. Putting special emphasis on those parameters that allow us to differentiate between one illness and another.   

In addition, we will lay the theoretical foundation for two advanced imaging tests related to echocardiography: 3D cardiac ultrasound and transesophageal echocardiography. 

With this specialization you will develop confidence, assurance and greater knowledge of pathologies and differential diagnoses when it comes to providing relevant and necessary information in daily ultrasound practice. 

As it is an online postgraduate certificate course, students are not restricted by set timetables, nor do they need to physically move to another location. All of the content can be accessed at any time of the day, so you can balance your working or personal life with your academic life.

As the course is online, you will be able to train wherever and whenever you want, balancing your professional and personal life”
