About the course

Fundamentals of internal medicine will give you the practical skills, clinical confidence and structured reasoning you need to manage common equine medical cases. Through hands-on training, small-group teaching and with the support of experienced speakers, you’ll learn how to assess, diagnose and investigate a wide range of internal medicine presentations.

By the end of the day you’ll feel equipped to perform key diagnostic procedures, interpret findings effectively and make informed decisions about treatment and referral.

Why attend?

  • Gain practical skills you’ll use immediately: build confidence in core ambulatory skills, in performing tracheal washes and bronchoalveolar lavages and in cardiac examinations and interpretation of findings.
  • Get hands-on: through practical sessions you’ll work through case-based examples, perform guttural pouch endoscopy and deepen your understanding of anatomical landmarks.
  • Learn best-practice medicine and clinical reasoning skills: improve your ability to examine patients, diagnose and create treatment plans, and know when and how to refer a case.

Who is this course for?

This course is ideal for new graduates looking to build confidence and competence, ambulatory practitioners wanting stronger practical skills and anyone feeling in need of a refresher on cardiac, respiratory, neurological and endocrine cases.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course you will be able to...

  • Attend common medical cases and be confident in formulating a diagnostic plan, interpreting results and initiating appropriate treatment/ management.
  • Examine and investigate cases of equine respiratory disease and understand the indications for performing further diagnostics such as respiratory endoscopy/sampling and interpreting results.
  • Perform cardiac auscultation with confidence and know when and how to investigate audible abnormalities further.
  • Carry out a neurological assessment in a logical manner.
  • Refer when necessary.
