Internal Medicine 6:
Immune-mediated and Hematologic Diseases, and Coagulopathies
26 - 30 May 2025 | Shanghai, China
General Overview
General Overview
The program of the Internal Medicine Course is created to give the chance to participants to deepen their knowledge in medical sciences of companion animals. The courses will be at an advanced level, in case-oriented and problem-solving approaches; each week will focus on a specific “discipline” of small animal internal medicine in order to give to attending veterinarians basic as well as advanced competences in most important topics of the daily practice. By attending to all courses, the participants are expected to achieve an adequate level of skills to be able to solve problems in the most important medical sciences, including all disciplines that are closely interconnected to internal medicine, such as oncology, cardiology, neurology and intensive care.
The complete training programme consists of seven periods of 5 days each; the entire programme will be given from 2018 to 2024. International guidelines and most recent scientific literature will be discussed in lectures, cases will be given to participants in practical sessions; attending vets will be fully responsible to find adequate management plans and reach the diagnosis in practical sessions. Theoretical and practical sessions will allow participants to achieve a level of knowledge and expertise that capacitate them to manage medical cases.
The approach to both congenital and acquired hematological diseases is the first topic of this module, focusing on erythrocytes, platelets, leucocytes and coagulation. In addition, other common immune-mediated diseases and polyarthritis are covered in the same module. Several clinical cases will be presented in order to make the topic simple and practical for all veterinarians.
Language
All modules will be held in China, in English language with consecutive translation in Chinese.
