The first module of the Cardiology program focuses on diagnostic and therapeutic options, such as heart murmurs, ECG seminars and ECG practicals, thoracic radiographs, biomarkers, cardiovascular drugs and the most common diseases seen in private practice. Veterinarians with no basic knowledge of cardiology are welcome to join this course.
All modules will be held in English with consecutive translations in Chinese.
