Two day practical session
At the end of this course, delegates should be able to:
• Describe how to use cytology for the investigation of skin disease
• Describe how to use skin scraping and hair examination for the investigation of skin disease
• Describe how to use biopsy and histopathology for the investigation of skin disease
• Describe how to use haematology, clinical chemistry and serology for the investigation of skin disease
This course forms part of the Dermatology one-year course but all is suitable as a stand-alone course.
The diagnosis and management of skin disease represents a major component of small animal practice.
The anatomy and physiology of skin will be covered before considering the approach to a dermatological examination and the range of diagnostic tests available. Common clinical presentations will be included, as will both the treatment and management of these conditions. There will be suggested reading between modules and delegates will be asked to contribute to group discussions. At the end of the course the diligent delegate will have a much improved knowledge of Dermatology.
Above all, the aim is to encourage further learning.
