Thanks to this very complete postgraduate certificate, you will learn to diagnose and work with trauma pathologies in small animals’’

The diagnosis of trauma-related conditions can be challenging, so it is essential to have the necessary knowledge and tools to be capable of conducting a systematic and orderly examination when evaluating patients and not to miss anything important. 

In this sense, any veterinarian who wants to be part of the rehabilitation team should be able to conduct physical examinations and traumatological and neurological evaluations. They should also have the ability to identify any conditions and their possible treatments. 

It is important to have diagnised the condition to be treated in physical rehabilitation prior to establishing the therapeutic techniques. Even though the referring veterinarian has made their diagnosis, a complete physical examination should be performed in the rehabilitation department, including a complete neurological and traumatological evaluation, to detect any possible underlying conditions that may have been missed. 

Patients who come to the rehabilitation clinic may have been referred after orthopedic surgery or with the diagnosis of a non-surgical condition. Veterinarians must be aware of the therapeutic techniques which could be of benefit to each condition and the complications that could arise from them, in order to be able to monitor the patient’s evolution and adapt the therapy to achieve the best results.
