Introduction to the Program

Arthroscopy is a technique that has improved in recent years thanks to technological advances. Join our team of students and specialize in this field"

The teaching team of this Postgraduate certificate in Arthroscopy has made a careful selection of the different state-of-the-art techniques for experienced professionals working in the veterinary field.

Thanks to Arthroscopy, the joints rarely have to be opened, the pain is much less and the patient can walk for a few hours after the treatment, achieving a much greater improvement. Thus, although Arthroscopy requires a significant investment and continuous training, its use has spread throughout the world making it a common practice in veterinary hospitals.

Developmental joint diseases, such as OCD (Osteochondritis Dissecans), elbow dysplasia or meniscus damage due to cranial cruciate ligament rupture, are regularly treated with the support of Arthroscopy, achieving early improvement, hence the importance of specialization in this area.

This program describes the Arthroscopy techniques of the different joints, the adequate preparation of the patient for each technique, the handling of the specific instruments, the surgical treatment of the intra-articular structures, as well as the periarticular structures assisted by Arthroscopy.

The teachers in this training are university professors with between 10 and 50 years of classroom and hospital experience. They are professors from schools on different continents, with different ways of doing surgery and with world-renowned surgical techniques. This makes this program a unique specialization program, different from any other that may be offered at this moment in the rest of the universities.

Being an online program, the student is not constrained by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life as they wish.
