ADVANCED SMALL ANIMAL CARDIOLOGY

This elective modular course builds on fundamental concepts of small animal cardiology covered in the core curriculum. Through case studies and interactive group discussions of nuanced or complex (but real-world) situations, students will participate in activities that increase their understanding of cardiac-noncardiac interactions such as cardiorenal comorbidities; congenital heart disease recognition and treatment; anesthesia of cardiovascular patients; cardiac emergencies; etc. Successful completion of the course will prepare students for management of small animal cardiology patients in clinical rotations and on day one of practice as a veterinarian.
