Learn efficiently, with a real qualification objective, with this postgraduate diploma, unique for its quality and price, in the online teaching market"

Veterinary Pharmacology is the science in charge of the search for and adaptation of medicines capable of solving animal health problems. It is a branch that aims to improve the current results in the prevention and treatment of the disease at the veterinary level through pharmacological strategies.  

Given the importance of oncologic, reproductive and endocrine system pharmacology in animal health, livestock production and veterinary law, this postgraduate diploma has been developed with a holistic approach, starting with the physiology of both systems, listing the hormones secreted by them and determining the pathologies derived from their possible dysfunction: a complete and highly valuable training for the professional pharmacist. 

During these months of training, the student will study the pharmacology of reproduction, gestation and parturition in different species, both production and domestic. 

Likewise, the professional will study in depth anti-infectious pharmacology, which is characterized by the study of drugs that have to act on cells other than those of the veterinary patient, which are intended to be eliminated in their entirety. They are capable of destroying or inhibiting the development of live germs that cause infections by acting through different pharmacological targets. 

Finally, it will delve into antineoplastic pharmacology that can act by destroying or inhibiting the development of tumor cells. This section is of great interest due to the increasing incidence of neoplastic diseases in animals, with special emphasis on small animals.   

The content of each module provides the student with comprehensive training in the theoretical and practical aspects of Veterinary Pharmacology. The practices that are proposed make the program unique by applying different simulated situations that will allow the student to develop skills for their performance in the real clinical environment. 

A comprehensive, up-to-date and high-quality review of Veterinary Oncologic and Reproductive Pharmacology for professionals who aspire to excellence in their field" 

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

• Practical cases presented by experts in Veterinary Pharmacology
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning

• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection   

Acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for the practical application of new techniques in the use of pharmacology in cancer and animal reproduction, in a training created for excellence"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

A comprehensive, up-to-date and high-quality review of Veterinary Oncologic and Reproductive Pharmacology for professionals who aspire to excellence in their field" 

A complete training in the use of veterinary drugs in cases of reproductive and oncological diseases”

The program design of this program will allow the student to acquire the necessary competencies to update in the profession after studying in depth the key aspects of Veterinary Pharmacology. Its objective is to provide the student with the required competencies in relation to preclinical or clinical research of drugs used in veterinary medicine, and their application in the therapeutic use of drugs so that he/she can better incorporate into the professional field. The knowledge poured in the development of the points of the study plan will drive the professional from a global perspective, with full training for the achievement of the proposed objectives. 

A great opportunity for the professional to advance in their competences and get up to date in all the novelties of pharmacological approach"
