Internal Medicine: Keys to Understanding Distance Education

Three enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutors will guide you through 10 modules designed to enhance your confidence in diagnosing and treating small animal patients.


Utilising a system-oriented approach, this updated course aims to help you develop a structured method applicable to any internal medicine issue. This framework serves as a powerful tool to assist in rapidly and reliably reaching a diagnosis and developing a treatment protocol, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

If you are preparing to sit for the small animal medicine membership examinations of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS), this course will provide a solid foundation and framework for your studies.

A two-day interactive workshop will offer you the opportunity to refine your interpretation skills and develop an approach that can be confidently applied to a broad range of internal medicine issues.
