Description

Become one of the most demanded professionals of the moment thanks to the completion of this very complete advanced master’s degree online”

##IMAGE##

In the last 20 years, veterinary anesthesia in large species has experienced great progress thanks to the introduction of new techniques and drugs, as well as the development of specific anesthetic monitors and machines.  

Additionally, the introduction of new surgical techniques has created the need to develop new anesthetic protocols, and there is a growing concern about the impact of anesthesia and analgesia on animal welfare and on the final outcome of surgical procedures.  

High skills in anesthesia management are essential for veterinary surgeons, since anesthetic techniques are closely linked to surgical interventions. 

Therefore, in this advanced master’s degree the main contents related to anesthetic techniques and the main tools for diagnosis, treatment and orthopedic intervention in large species, such as ruminants (cattle and sheep), camelids (camels, alpacas and llamas), swine (pigs and wild boars) and equids (horses, donkeys and mules), including the description of the main musculoskeletal and rehabilitation surgical interventions, are united in this advanced master’s degree. 

It’s necessary to take into account that this specialized course is aimed at professionals who generally have long working days, which prevents them from being able to continue with their specialization in face-to-face classes and who cannot find high quality online courses adapted to their needs. In this context of the need for competent and quality online specialization, we present this advanced master’s degree in Anesthesia and Orthopedic Surgery in Large Species , which has come to revolutionize the world of veterinary specialization, both for its contents, as well as for its teaching staff and its innovative teaching methodology.  

Furthermore, as it is a 100% online specialization, the student decides where and when to study. Without the restrictions of fixed timetables or having to move between classrooms, this course can be combined with work and family life.
