Large animals can have complex pathologies, so it is necessary to have specialized veterinarians who can treat them”

The postgraduate certificate in Cardiovascular Medicine in Large Animals incorporates innovative knowledge, based on the latest scientific evidence, that allows veterinary professionals to stay up to date on the newest treatments and emerging diseases that affect large animals across the world as a consequence of globalization

Specialized and advanced knowledge of these diseases is necessary since outbreaks of some diseases considered eradicated or new ones may occur in all countries of the world. 

Clinical practice is a very dynamic activity, new treatments are constantly appearing in scientific publications and veterinarians must be aware of them in order to be able to offer these options to their clients. Each of the modules in this postgraduate certificate covers one of the organ systems, with emphasis on those systems that are most frequently affected in the large animals. 

With respect to ruminants, although their handling and the diseases they suffer from are different from those of horses, they must also be understood with sufficient scientific expertise to be able to establish adequate treatments and accurate prognoses. Camelids of the new world or South America, which include mainly llamas and alpacas as domesticated animals, are animals bred for different purposes including fiber production, pack animals or meat production in South America. Horses are animals that are used both for leisure and as companion animals, as well as in different sports disciplines, which adds an important added economic value. It is essential to have a high level of knowledge in Internal Medicine to be able to work with these horses, since, due to their economic value, they are not readily accessible to clinicians with little training.

This postgraduate certificate is designed by professors with the highest recognized degree of specialization, thus guaranteeing its quality in all aspects, both clinical and scientific, of large animals.
