Although Cushing’s disease is well known, new insights into its presentation, diagnosis, and treatment continue to reshape how veterinarians manage this condition.
Led by Dr Luke Johnston, a recognised authority in endocrine disorders, this course covers the latest evidence-based strategies for diagnosing and treating hyperadrenocorticism in dogs and cats. You’ll learn to recognise key clinical presentations, distinguish Cushing’s disease from similar conditions, and confidently navigate modern diagnostic tools and therapeutic options. The course also explores adrenal pathology and offers practical guidance on adrenal ultrasound to strengthen your diagnostic accuracy.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel more confident managing canine and feline Cushing’s cases.

Loved that it was webinars not just notes. Luke explains things very well and made it quite interesting. Quiz questions were representative of the important lessons from the course.
This course was amazing, Luke is an excellent tutor and kept the information relevant and interesting.
