Introduction to the Program
Actualízate con las técnicas diagnósticas más recientes para el aparato urinario, pruebas sanguíneas con enfoque en nefrología y monitorización de la diabetes mellitus en gatos”
Pese a que una buena extensión de las patologías felinas a las que se enfrenta el veterinario en su día a día son relativamente fáciles de tratar, nunca se deben ignorar los desarrollos continuos en el abordaje de complicaciones de todo tipo. Concretamente, las áreas de endocrinología, aparato digestivo y sistema urinario felino han avanzado considerablemente en los últimos años, ofreciendo herramientas y procedimientos que facilitan la labor diaria del veterinario.
Por ello, TECH ha convocado a un equipo de expertos referentes en el abordaje de las patologías en estos campos, a fin de diseñar un programa académico exhaustivo y eficiente para todo especialista. Los docentes han volcado todo el conocimiento científico y teórico más vigente actualmente, complementándolo con la necesaria práctica clínica real para darle una contextualización y utilidad aún mayor a todos los temas tratados.
Así, se presenta esta Postgraduate diploma, que cubre los avances más importantes en endoscopias digestivas, enfermedades orales, monitorización de la diabetes mellitus, alteraciones de glándulas adrenales, urianálisis y técnicas para abordar las obstrucciones ureterales, entre otros muchos temas de gran interés para todo veterinario que trate con pacientes felinos habitualmente. Además, completa esta actualización las Masterclass desarrolladas por una de las grandes especialistas en Ortopedia Felina. Su extenso bagaje en este campo le permitirá al egresado realizar una puesta al día efectiva en torno a las técnicas quirúrigicas y diagnósticas utilizadas en este campo.
Siendo conscientes de lo dificultoso que puede ser abarcar un área extensa de conocimiento en un contexto de responsabilidades profesionales y personales crecientes, TECH ofrece todos los contenidos de este programa de forma completamente online. Esto quiere decir que no existen ni clases prefijadas ni horarios establecidos, siendo el propio veterinario el que elige cómo distribuirse toda la carga lectiva. De esta manera, se consigue un equilibrio ideal entre las facetas académica, profesional y personal.
