Nadia Cabral MRCVS
An excellent course from which vets can gain a clearer understanding of the causes and treatment of small animal cardiology cases seen in practice. The online format allows for self-paced study and there is a good mix of video and written material.
Diarmaid Tansey MVB GPCert(EMS) MRCVS
The approach to small animal cardiology course covered all aspects of first opinion approach to cardiology from reinforcing knowledge of underlying physiology to recent and emerging research and treatment options. A great resource for the first opinion vet to brush up on their cardiology and for those beginning the journey to specialism. Excellent teaching aids and support throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed the course!
