COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care is a practical course for veterinary professionals seeking to provide more comprehensive treatment to animals in their care.
Covering the fundamental pathophysiological and clinical aspects of emergency and critical care (ECC) of the dog and cat, this is an in-depth professional development program taught by international experts. Additionally, it incorporates most of the theory required for preparation for the ANZCVS ECC membership examinations.
Through course work, realistic case studies, and assessments, students will gain vital understanding and confidence when dealing with ECC patients. You’ll learn to identify and address life-threatening conditions, develop knowledge in the monitoring of patients, and keep up to date with developments in a fast-moving field.
This course is designed for practising veterinary professionals that are seeking to increase their knowledge whilst gaining a recognised qualification in emergency and critical care.
The Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care covers the techniques necessary to perform emergency and critical care procedures, and the essential knowledge for monitoring of these patients. This includes identifying and addressing life threatening conditions such as:
- Major trauma
- Toxicities
- Sepsis
- Gastric dilation and volvulus
- Cardiac failure
- Respiratory and ventilatory failure
- Renal failure
- Urethral obstruction.
At the completion of the course, you will have:
- Understanding of the pathophysiological principles that relate to ECC
- The ability to apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and therapy in order to successfully manage systems derangement, including cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal gastrointestinal, renal, urinary tract, reproductive, metabolic, endocrine, neurologic, musculoskeletal, ophthalmic, integumentary and nutritional
- The ability to rapidly and accurately assess the emergency patient in order to prioritise a patient’s problems based on principles of triage
- Understanding of global conditions such as SIRS, DIC, sepsis, trauma, hyperthermia, toxicities and anaphylaxis and demonstrate effective assessment and management of such conditions.
