Become a professional in one of today’s most in demand fields: specialize in Pre-Anesthetic Preparation for Large Animals with this comprehensive online program”

In the last 20 years, Veterinary Anesthesia in Large Animals has experienced significant advances thanks to the introduction of new techniques and drugs, as well as the development of monitors and specialized anesthetic machines.

The introduction of novel surgical techniques has resulted in the need to develop new anesthetic protocols. There is a growing concern about the impact of anesthesia and analgesia on animal welfare and the final outcome of surgical procedures.

The postgraduate certificatee in Pre-Anesthetic Preparation for Large Animals is designed in response to the need for clinical veterinarians with greater expertise of the protocols and techniques relevant to this area. 

The teaching team of this postgraduate certificate is made up of professionals specialized in Large Animal Anesthesia, with a wide experience in teaching, both in undergraduate and graduate programs, most of them being university professors and graduates. These professors are active anesthesiologists in leading veterinary centers and directors or participants in various research projects, hence in addition to teaching and clinical work they also carry out research activities.

The topics covered in the postgraduate certificate in Pre-Anesthetic Preparation for Large Animals have been selected with the aim of offering a complete course in anesthesia, so that the student develops specialized knowledge to safely address any situation requiring general or locoregional anesthesia and analgesia in ruminants, swine, camelids and equids. 

At present, one of the main problems affecting continuing postgraduate specialization is its compatibility with work and personal life. Current professional demands make it difficult to attend a quality, specialized course in person, so the online format will allow our students to reconcile their studies with their daily professional practice, without losing the link with development and specialization.
