Description

The most extensive training in avian patient pathologies and diseases is offered in this new Postgraduate certificate, where you can specialize to improve the health of these animals”

##IMAGE##

Birds are susceptible to a wide variety of diseases, so knowing the type of bird, its anatomy and how it should be handled is fundamental in daily practice as specialized veterinarians, which will help understand the susceptibility of different birds to different diseases.

This program presents specialized knowledge of the different pathologies, such as those derived from incorrect handling, like capture paresis, a syndrome caused by the stress produced during the capture of wild birds. It also studies the complete physiopathogenesis and the changes produced in the animal, which cause so many deaths that could be avoided by incorporating the latest knowledge available. 

Specifically, avian pathology is summarized in two large groups: infectious diseases: viral, bacterial, mycoplasmic, fungal and parasitic; and non-infectious diseases: genetic, metabolic-endocrine, anatomical alterations, physical-chemical imbalances and nutritional deficiencies.

This program also includes the study of diseases present in wild birds, since veterinarians specialized in this type of birds must be qualified to perform all rescue tasks, clinical care and animal reception, diagnostic techniques and interpretation of results, as well as the use of up-to-date treatments that will be developed throughout this module.

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.

As it is an online program, students will not be bound by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but rather, they can access the content at any time of the day, balancing their professional or personal life with their academic life.
