Acquire the necessary skills to act as an expert in the area of Dermatological Emergencies in Small Animals, with the mastery of the latest techniques and advances in this intervention”

In emergency medicine there is a series of understandings, procedures and techniques which are common in the majority of cases, independent of the specialty or specialties involved in each case.  

If we were to survey veterinary students or general veterinarians with little experience in emergency medicine and ask them which emergencies they consider the most serious and most frequent, we would most likely find on the list poisoning, cesarean sections or gastric dilatation-torsion; but it is very likely that we would find few or very few references to dermatologic emergencies.  

However, in daily practice, dermatological emergencies constitute a very high percentage of emergencies and, although many of them are not serious in terms of the patient's life, many others require immediate attention because they seriously compromise the patient's life and the prognosis worsens as time goes by without medical attention; for example, reactions to drugs, angioedema or burns.  

Thus, this postgraduate certificate will deal with the care of a patient with dermatological emergencies from arrival at the emergency department, initial stabilization, as well as anamnesis, examination, complementary tests and medical treatment. In short, TECH offers a complete overview of all the areas of knowledge that professionals need to provide quality emergency care.
