Become one of the most demanded professionals today: Specialize in Cutaneous, Respiratory, Digestive, Ophthalmologic and Respiratory Tumors in Small Animals with this complete online postgraduate diploma”

The age of patients in veterinary consultations is increasingly higher, resulting in more frequent cases of cancer patients.

Through this program, students will develop specialized, advanced, up to date, practical, scientifically rigorous and useful knowledge about Cutaneous, Respiratory, Digestive, Ophthalmologic and Respiratory Tumors in Small Animals, to be applied immediately in their daily clinical practice.

Small Animal Oncology is an internal medicine subspecialty which has experienced great development in the last decades. The professors on this postgraduate diploma are at the forefront of the latest diagnostic techniques and treatments of oncologic diseases in small animals. Due to their specialized training, they have designed a useful, practical program adapted to the current situation, an increasingly demanding and specialized reality.

All the professors on the program are clinicians and/or university professors with experience in both undergraduate and postgraduate training. Professionally active, the professors are specialized in different areas involved in small animal oncology such as clinical oncologists, oncological surgeons, radiologists and anatomopathologists. The aim is to offer a program that takes a multidisciplinary approach to oncology.

This program specializes general practitioners in veterinary oncology in an area that is increasingly in demand, partly due to its prevalence, and partly to the specialization this area requires and demands.
