How to enrol as a new CertAVP candidate.
This module on Cardiovascular Diagnostics can be taken from a small animal or large animal perspective and will cover the approach to diagnosis in veterinary patients presenting with cardiovascular disorders, including the appropriate selection and interpretation of diagnostic tests and techniques. This module will extend and consolidate clinical knowledge and skills gained at undergraduate level, to allow application of this knowledge to the initial assessment of patients and their subsequent diagnostic investigations. The candidate will be able to critically evaluate their own standards of practice and develop strategies for continuous improvement in the future.
