This exceptional postgraduate certificate in Diagnostic Tests in Veterinary Neurology has been configured as the most complete compilation of knowledge, techniques and current technologies developed in this field, to offer the professional a leap towards maximum competence"

As important as a correct neurological examination and a detailed outline of the list of possible problems for each case, is to assess the diagnostic tests that we should consider for each case, most of them being complementary, since in rare cases we will reach a final diagnosis only by performing one of them. 

Diagnostic tests will give not only an almost certain diagnosis, but also a structuring and an approach to the therapy used in each case, as well as the prognosis that each pathological entity has in order to advise the owner in the best possible way. 

This module deals with the most common laboratory tests for the diagnosis of neurological diseases, with special emphasis on the performance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extraction and its interpretation.  

Another topic of the module to be covered will be the different types of genetic testing in the dog and cat. 

Advanced imaging tests (CT, MRI), as well as electrophysiology and muscle/nerve biopsies will be of great importance in the final diagnosis of the different pathologies, emphasizing the most important points of each one of them. 

Acquire the necessary skills to perform an accurate neurological examination of your patients, learning how to develop the differential diagnosis and to prescribe the most appropriate tests in each case" 

This postgraduate certificate offers you the characteristics of a high level scientific, teaching and technological program. These are some of its most notable features:

With the real life experience of specialists in small animal neurology who bring to this master's degree their realistic and practical vision of veterinary intervention in this field"

The topics and clinical cases proposed, as well as their resolution, are based on the practical experience of the teachers and on the latest advances in research and development that nurture this field of work.

All information is presented through high quality multimedia content, analysis of clinical cases prepared by teachers, master classes and video techniques that allow the exchange of knowledge and experience, maintain and update the skill level of its members, create protocols for action and disseminate the most important developments in the emergencies within medicine of small animals.

Our teaching staff at TECH is made up of professionals from different fields related to this specialty. In this way TECH makes sure to offer the student the training update objective intended. A multidisciplinary team of professionals trained and experienced in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient manner, but, above all, will put at the service of the program the practical knowledge derived from their own experience: one of the differential qualities of this master's degree. 

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodology used in the design of this Professional Master's Degree. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. In this way, the student will be able to study with a set of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give him the operability he needs.

The design of this program is based on Problem Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, the student will be able to acquire the knowledge as if they were facing the scenario they are learning at that moment. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way. 

A study that includes knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, brain or spinal cord"

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this highly qualified program is designed to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way"

This program compiles the most current knowledge in terms of scientific research and technological development in diagnostic techniques and intervention in neurological pathologies in small animals. The objective is to generate specialized knowledge in the student, creating a well structured basis to identify the clinical signs associated with each neurological location and to be able to establish a list of differential diagnoses, acting correctly to achieve the best possible prognosis in patients.

The ultimate goal is to boost your capacity for real intervention by incorporating into your knowledge the most up to date knowledge in this field, learning in a realistic and effective way in order to grow as a professional"
