A program designed to meet the specialization and refresher needs of professionals in the sector, with a high quality intensive course that covers each and every one of the areas of intervention in Equine Hospital Medicine"

Equine hospitalization requires extensive in-depth knowledge in order to understand how to intervene in the pathologies that affect quadrupeds. Equine hospitalization encompasses many pathologies, so a veterinary professional must update their knowledge to be aware of the latest developments.

The program will cover the foundations for specialization in equine hospital medicine, which define the logistics and clinical strategy needed in any hospital for horses. We will also delve into digestive disorders, which can present themselves with varied symptoms and evolution, and can represent a real challenge in terms of stabilization and treatment of the patient. In addition, we will address cardiac diseases in horses, which are relatively rare in relation to the pathologies they suffer. 

The program will also analyze the respiratory system, neurological and muscular problems, neonatology, pathologies of the genitourinary system, endocrine problems, ophthalmic pathologies, parasitic diseases in horses and pathologies or diseases that vary according to age. To conclude this Professional master’s degree, hospital care of the surgical patient will be addressed, a fundamental part in the successful outcome of the surgical procedure performed when it has been carried out electively.

It is a 100% online program, without any face to face classes or pre-established schedules, which allows veterinary professionals to organize their time and schedule sessions whenever they wish from any mobile device with an Internet connection. In addition, the professional will be able to download all the academic content and study it as they wish, emphasizing specific topics and resolving doubts and concerns with a team of first class teaching staff.
