You have at your fingertips all the up-to-date knowledge in Veterinary Pharmacology and Natural Therapies in this qualification. Seize your chance”

This qualification focuses on Veterinary Pharmacology and Natural Therapies as a response to a service increasingly demanded by owners, who are turning to less invasive and, as far as possible, more natural approaches.  

Throughout the program, the concept and evolution of pharmacology and the objectives of Veterinary Pharmacology will be discussed. Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, as well as the concepts of drug release, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion will be discussed, dealing with the variability of response in different species. 

Therefore, this program offers the veterinary professional a complete and up-to-date training with which to continue learning to achieve an elite specialization, through a content that complements the theoretical aspects with clinical practice as a result of the union of the knowledge and experience of the professors who make up the faculty that has created its content.  

One of the main problems that a professional encounters when specializing today is time. Reconciling personal life with work and student life is a difficult problem to solve. Precisely for this reason, TECH proposes a revolutionary online study methodology in which the students decide when, how and from where they want to study, thereby facilitating their training, without influencing the rest of the aspects of their lives. 

It includes a complete review of the use of Natural Pharmacology in the treatment of animal conditions”

This Postgraduate diploma in Veterinary Pharmacology and Natural Therapies contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Innovative and up-to-date diagnostic techniques in infectious diseases and their application in daily clinical practice, including the use of cytology as a diagnostic tool in these diseases
• The most frequent and not so frequent pathologies of infectious origin in dogs from a practical and completely up-to-date point of view
• Infectious Pathologies oriented to the Feline Species, dealing extensively with all those of this species
• “One Health” vision, in which Zoonoses and their implications for public health will be reviewed
• At present, there are no more exotic diseases, and they should be included by the clinician in the differential diagnosis when the epidemiology allows to suspect them
• Prevention and management of all infectious diseases, including clinical, home and community settings

A revolutionary program for its ability to reconcile the highest quality of learning with the most complete online education"
