Acquire the necessary skills to act as an expert in the area of Metabolic and Toxicological 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.
The most frequent metabolic emergencies in small animal medicine are decompensated diabetic patients and addisonian crises, the latter being underdiagnosed. In both cases, laboratory tests are fundamental in the diagnosis and control of the patient's evolution.

With regard to toxicological emergencies, a review is made of the most common emergencies in emergency departments, including pesticides, drugs for human and/or veterinary use, plants, insects and ophidian bites, among others.

In the patient with a toxicological emergency, a correct anamnesis is essential, as well as a diligent initial care based on the data obtained from the anamnesis and general examination, which may lead to the performance of gastric lavage or bathing or washing of the patient's body surface in order to reduce the absorption of the toxins involved while the clinician can stabilize the patient and perform the appropriate tests to determine the origin of the poisoning, the severity of the picture and the most appropriate treatment.

Thus, the care of a patient with metabolic and/or toxicological emergencies will be addressed: arrival at the emergency department, initial stabilization, as well as anamnesis, examination, complementary tests and medical treatment.

In short, we offer you a complete tour of all the areas of knowledge you need to provide quality emergency care.

Our teaching staff is made up of professionals from different fields related to this specialty. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professionals trained and experienced in different environments, who will cover the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will put the practical knowledge derived from their own experience at the service of the course: one of the differential qualities of this course.

This mastery of the subject matter is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design of this course. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training.

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

A high intensity course that will take you through different teaching approaches to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way"

Our innovative telepractice concept will provide you with faster integration and a much more realistic view of the content: “learning from an expert"
