How could a PGCert in Small Animal Internal Medicine help you in your daily case management?
Vet
Internal medicine in small animals often involves complex conditions affecting multiple organ systems and it can be challenging to diagnose conditions which present late in the disease progression. Plus, in order to treat some conditions, for example, diabetes, acute kidney injury, and DKA, a thorough understanding of a number of different therapies is needed, making it essential to stay up to date with the latest advances in treatments.
