Don't miss the opportunity to study this postgraduate diplomain Doppler Ultrasound and Echocardiography with us. It is the perfect opportunity to advance in your professional career” 

Ultrasound scans provide the veterinary professional with moving images of the structures being studied, as well as information on the condition of the different tissues. 

The introduction of Doppler in ultrasound equipment brought about a diagnostic revolution in ultrasound studies. Doppler makes it possible to evaluate moving structures, as well as to perform a detailed study of blood vessels, all in real time and using a painless, non-invasive method. 

It is of utmost importance to know the versatility that ultrasound allows us in different areas and types of patients, in order to obtain the greatest advantage of this technique and to be able to offer complete services. For this reason, this training will also focus on echocardiography, a very powerful tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of cardiac conditions, whether acquired or congenital.  

It is therefore essential to have advanced knowledge of the different types of ultrasound scans, in order to establish a correct and accurate examination protocol, as this is of vital importance for the interpretation of the results. 

Given the online format of this program, 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 program, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules, nor do they need to move 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.
