The 10 hours of echocardiography in small groups (max. 5 attendees per instructor), ECG wetlabs and interactive case-discussions will provide ample opportunities for attending vets to further develop their practical skills on live horses under the watchful eyes of the experts. Each attendee will be rotating through the following stations
Echocardiography Stations 1 – 6 (= 6 hours)
