The world's largest faculty of veterinary medicine”
Introduction to the Program
Te proponemos una completísima capacitación en el ámbito de la cirugía aviar para que te especialices en este ámbito veterinario y des un impulso a tu profesión”
El objetivo de esta Postgraduate diploma en Surgical Techniques in Avian Patients es proporcionar un recurso integral para la cirugía de cualquier ave. Es especialmente valioso para estudiantes de veterinaria, técnicos veterinarios y veterinarios clínicos, así como para biólogos, directores de centro de fauna silvestre e investigadores.
La monitorización es esencial para la inmovilización del paciente, y su anestesia y un proceso fundamental en las intervenciones quirúrgicas. Los objetivos son detectar los cambios fisiológicos a tiempo para corregir lesiones irreversibles, garantizar una profundidad anestésica adecuada y evaluar la efectividad de la atención de apoyo.
Además, el dolor y el sufrimiento de los animales son condiciones clínicamente importantes que afectan negativamente la calidad de vida de un animal, por lo que es necesario contar con unos amplios conocimientos en la analgesia aviar.
Este Programa proporciona una amplia gama de opciones quirúrgicas para las afecciones más comunes del paciente aviar. Sin embargo, nunca se podría realizar una intervención ortopédica en el nivel deseado sin los conocimientos previos en anestesia, radiología y oftalmología aviar.
De esta manera, este programa educativo se convierte en una herramienta útil e imprescindible para los veterinarios clínicos especializados en cirugía de aves, los profesionales y los residentes en capacitación, así como para los individuos que se ocupan de especies comparativas, como la medicina del zoológico y la cirugía entre especies. ]
En definitiva, esta capacitación proporciona al alumno herramientas y habilidades específicas para que desarrolle con éxito su actividad profesional en el amplio entorno de la medicina y cirugía de aves. Trabaja competencias clave como el conocimiento de la realidad y práctica diaria del profesional veterinario, y desarrolla la responsabilidad en el seguimiento y supervisión de su trabajo, así como habilidades de comunicación dentro del imprescindible trabajo en equipo.
