Exotic ifevet<\/span><\/p> \u2022\u00a0<\/span>Certification obtained<\/strong>: Postgraduate Certificate in Exotic Animal (UK)<\/span><\/p> Course Objective<\/span><\/span><\/p> The aim of this course is to build on the principles acquired at an undergraduate level to give delegates a comprehensive introduction to companion exotic, native wildlife, and zoological practice. This course will allow delegates to further develop their awareness and understanding of the veterinary surgeon\u2019s role in the management, health and welfare of captive and free-living exotic and wild animals.<\/span><\/p> Structure and benefits of the postgraduate programme<\/span><\/p> This certificate is delivered over 20 modules, covering subjects such as anatomy, physiology, natural history, husbandry, examination, health investigation, therapeutics, surgery, and preventative health care. Examples of the species covered in this certificate include:<\/p> Delegates will receive bespoke, contemporary and evidence-based training material, that helps foster a self-directed and life-long approach to learning. Live teaching sessions and discussion forums allow delegates the opportunity to take a deeper dive into each module and experience the benefits of case-based learning under the guidance of industry experts.<\/p> Upon completion of the certificate, delegates will have gained a qualification that demonstrates a uniquely broad understanding of the considerations necessary to maintain health and manage disease in non-traditional species. Furthermore, delegates will have developed skills that will allow them to continue their journey in personal and professional development to confidently approach unfamiliar scenarios and novel conditions in non-traditional species.<\/p> Target Audience<\/span><\/span><\/p> This certificate is aimed towards general practitioners looking to progress their understanding and capabilities in exotic and zoological practice. It would also suit veterinary surgeons who are preparing to further their careers in companion exotic, wildlife, or zoological & aquarium medicine through future internship or residency training.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t \n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart date\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
