Our comprehensive study will allow you to practice in the field of veterinary medicine by treating sick birds and reaching early diagnoses to improve their health”

This postgraduate certificate focuses on veterinarian work in reaching a diagnosis based on scientific evidence, while optimizing economic resources and the time spent to reach early treatment. In routine clinical practice, complementary diagnostic techniques are usually used, many of them based on image diagnosis, such as radiology, endoscopy and ultrasound, without going further into the rest of the diagnoses available and necessary tests.

Thanks to this postgraduate certificate, students will receive the fullest training in all laboratory diagnostic tests, so veterinarians specialized in birds can use fundamental techniques such as biopsies, hematology, cytology, blood biochemistry or protein electrophoresis (proteinograms), and reach peak excellence in their professional practice.

This postgraduate certificate also offers specialized knowledge to analyze and interpret each of the diagnostic imaging techniques available, such as radiographs. One must remember that birds are small patients with a high respiratory frequency, which inevitably leads to the loss of details and information in these tests due to the patient's movements.

In short, this training provides students with specific tools and skills to successfully develop their professional activity in the wide field of avian medicine and surgery. It addresses key competencies such as knowledge of the reality and daily practice of the veterinary professional, and develops responsibility in the monitoring and supervision of their work, as well as communication skills within the essential teamwork.

In addition, as it is an online postgraduate certificate, the student is not constrained by fixed timetables or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing his or her work or personal life with their academic life.
