A complete and fully updated Postgraduate certificate in Epidemiology in Animal Health with the most complete and effective training program in the online educational market"

The Postgraduate certificate examines the concepts, definitions and epidemiological tools that allow the professional to consider the uniqueness of epidemiology as a science and its usefulness as a tool in veterinary health management. 

It examines the concepts and relevant aspects for the design of veterinary epidemiological studies, the identification and analysis of infection-disease patterns and the identification of causes, associated factors and risk factors. 

It brings a multidisciplinary vision to Epidemiology, allowing for the understanding of tools and acquisition of skills for data analysis in Epidemiology and for the spatial analysis of the distribution and dispersion of infection/disease. 

It is able to design Preventive and Control Strategies for animal infectious and pathological processes based on knowledge of the epidemiology of these processes. 

It projects a holistic view of Veterinary Health Management in an ever-changing world. 

The purpose of the Module in Animal Health Epidemiology is to achieve a theoretical-practical specialization that allows professionals to develop their autonomy in Epidemiological Analysis focused on veterinary health prevention and control. 

Through studying this course, the student will gain satisfaction in being able to apply the theoretical knowledge they acquired in concrete practical cases.
