Develop a logical, problem-based approach to infectious skin cases. Skin problems are among the most common reasons for presentation in everyday practice. The CVE Dermatology Distance Education program is a modular course that aims to provide you with the practical skills necessary to work-up and resolve these often recurrent cases with minimal frustration for both owner and clinician.  The Infectious Skin Diseases course has a broad content list, ranging from bacterial infections and mycoses to ectoparasites not typically associated with pruritus (such as demodicosis). It also covers all aspects of otitis externa and media including pathophysiology, diagnostics, medical management and surgical interventions.  Professor Mueller is regarded as one of the world’s leaders in both demodicosis and otitis and leads this course. The introductory module will cover the general approach to a dermatology patient. It also features practical work with microscopy and skin biopsy sampling conducted on-line and covers the key steps in the approach to nodules. While much of the emphasis is on developing a logical approach to case management, this course reviews the latest information available on a wide range of conditions and presents the latest evidence-based treatment options available. Ultimately, having more confidence in your abilities to manage skin patients will lead to higher job satisfaction and improve patient outcomes.

In this course, participants will apply their foundational knowledge in anaesthesia to planning and administering anaesthesia and analgesia in patients presenting with comorbidities such as impaired renal and cardiac function, diabetes, as well as patients presenting with conditions requiring emergency surgery. Learners will be encouraged to utilize a problem-based approach to create individualized protocols that reduce complications and improve outcomes. Prerequisite: participants are assumed to have a sound knowledge of anaesthesia foundational principles (including drug physiology and anaesthesia equipment).

In this course participants will gain understanding of the unique aspects of anaesthesia in domestic species presented in large animal veterinary practice. They will apply their fundamental knowledge and skills in anaesthesia to devise anaesthetic protocols by taking into consideration the risks associated with anaesthesia and the unique responses to anaesthesia, and to be able to respond to common peri-anaesthetic complications.  The majority of the course is dedicated to equine anaesthesia. The second part of the course will cover anaesthesia and anaesthetic techniques for ruminants, with a focus on small ruminants and South American camelids.

Improve your diagnostic skills and avoid common mistakes in thoracic diagnosis. Thoracic radiography is one of the most useful clinical tests undertaken in clinical practice and yet one of the most frequently cited areas of confusion. This course aims to increase your ability to take optimal thoracic radiographs and to interpret them confidently. The modules focus on radiographic interpretation, with incorporation of complementary imaging modalities, particularly CT and sonography, to assist in explanations of the radiographic pathological patterns present.

The primary goal for veterinarians is to ensure anaesthesia is as safe as possible for their patients. Systematic preparation for anaesthesia can significantly reduce unexpected and often severe complications, thereby enhancing safety. This involves meticulous planning across all four phases of anaesthesia: pre-induction, induction, maintenance, and recovery. Veterinarians must apply their knowledge and skills effectively to make informed decisions and prepare appropriately for each phase.

Is it a behaviour problem or problematic behaviour? Learn to distinguish between the two, maximising treatment success for conditions like anxiety and aggression.
