Large animals can have complex pathologies, so it is necessary to have specialized veterinarians who can treat them”

Get trained with us and learn how to diagnose and treat diseases in Large Animals, in order to improve their quality of life"

Clinical practice is a very dynamic activity, new treatments are constantly appearing in scientific publications and veterinarians must be aware of them in order to be able to offer these options to their clients. Each of the modules in this program covers one of the organ systems, with emphasis on those systems that are most frequently affected in the Large Animals.

Camelids of the New World or South America, which include mainly llamas and alpacas as domesticated animals, are animals bred for different purposes including fiber production, pack animals or meat production in South America, guard animals for other animals such as small ruminants and also as companion animals. This Postgraduate diploma provides advanced knowledge to diagnose, treat and prevent these diseases. 

The horse clinician faces the challenges posed by these patients on a daily basis. Gastrointestinal pathologies are the most frequent cause of emergency calls from owners. Many of these horses suffer from mild illnesses that are resolved with appropriate treatments, but a small group suffer very serious injuries that require surgical treatment. It is necessary to interpret the clinical signs of these patients promptly in order to improve their prognosis; this program provides the main tools to successfully deal with these cases. 

Sports medicine forms an important block within Equine Internal Medicine, since many of the horses we have today are dedicated to sporting activities. Working with these horses is very rewarding but also requires a high degree of specialization, especially in pathologies that affect the cardiorespiratory system. This program generates specialized knowledge that allows the equine clinician to evaluate the athletic prognosis of those patients with conditions that influence their athletic performance. 

This program is designed by professors with the highest recognized degree of specialization, thus guaranteeing its quality in all aspects, both clinical and scientific, in large animals.
