Description

A complete and total update on Field Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Surgical Disorders in Horses and Foals with the most complete and effective online educational program on the market"

##IMAGE##

The exploration, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the locomotor system are one of the main occupations in the equine field clinic, so it is of primary importance for the veterinarian to have the knowledge and skills necessary to develop this specialty from their professional work.

Equestrian competitions are developed from regional and national levels, starting from basic riding, to higher national competitions and reaching international and world competitions of the highest level, with some equestrian sports reaching Olympic and Paralympic levels.

These pathologies have a high economic impact on the equine sector and represent a large part of the work of the equine veterinarian, who has to deal with them almost daily. In addition, because of their economic relevance, these pathologies are the subject of constant research, so advances in new diagnostic and treatment methods are dynamic and are the order of the day.

It is for this reason that professionals must update their knowledge and correctly use the portable diagnostic equipment, which are the same in both cases. This is why this diagnostic tool is of special interest in the thoracic and abdominal regions, which can be explored practically 100% in these young patients, making radiology and ultrasound an essential tool, and the veterinarian must implement and optimize their performance in the pediatric outpatient clinic.

Join the elite, with this highly effective educational program, and open new paths to your professional progress"
