At present, one of the problems that conditions continuous postgraduate specialization is its reconciliation with work and personal life. Current professional demands make it difficult to provide quality, specialized, face-to-face education, so the online format will allow our students to reconcile this specialized training with their daily professional practice.

A quality internal medicine allows a symbiotic work, necessary and indispensable in many cases, with other specialties, since many pathologies are translated into digestive, genitourinary and endocrine manifestations, among many others.

The veterinary internist of companion animals must have a high knowledge of digestive, endocrine and genitourinary pathologies, since they are very frequent in consultation. Thanks to this program, the veterinarian will be more informed about the diseases in this field of action, will achieve a better orientation about the patient with abdominal pain, digestive losses, pathologies associated with urinary systems, as well as endocrinopathies and, above all, will understand how to guide the owner in preventing those diseases of predisposed breeds.

The teaching staff of this postgraduate diploma is made up of professionals specialized in the different areas of knowledge that internal medicine encompasses, with extensive experience in the clinical practice of this specialty. Additionally, these professors are accredited as specialists in different fields, working together in a veterinary specialty center. Some of them, in addition to performing quality clinical work, are participants in various research projects, so that, together with teaching and clinical work, they also carry out research activities.

The topics presented in this postgraduate diploma have been selected with the aim of offering a complete, up-to-date and quality specialization in internal medicine, in such a way that the student acquires the appropriate knowledge to deal safely with cases, as well as to be able to carry out an adequate follow-up, monitoring and therapy.
