About this course

Fundamentals of Internal Medicine combines online learning and a practical day to give you a firm grounding in ambulatory clinical skills.

Before attending the practical day, you will have access to five online lectures. Your lectures will cover pyrexia, the coughing horse, testing for PPID and EMS, exercise intolerance and the neuro exam.

The practical day will give you the opportunity to practice what you have learnt online. Practical rotations will allow you to develop your confidence in cardiac auscultation and ECGs, guttural pouch endoscopy and work through PPID and EMS case scenarios.

The online learning will be available to access at least two weeks before the practical and available for up to 12 months afterwards.
