About this course
This six week course will cover rabbit and rodent medicine for the practitioner and will also address the latest anaesthesia, analgesia and critical care medicine for these species. The emphasis will be upon common conditions and their latest therapies although the discussion groups may allow discussion of more advanced cases.
The course consists of a mixture of notes, specific case presentations and assessments, self assessment activities and online discussions. The majority of discussion board activities will be case based.
