Most clinical practices have an endoscope of varying types and sizes used mainly for upper respiratory tract investigations. With the introduction of smaller and longer endoscopes the range of uses has increased considerably as has been recognised recently by the vast increase in gastroscopy.
This course, using a mixture of highly illustrated lectures, video based demonstrations, case-based discussions, and video/picture quizzes is designed to show clinicians the whole range of conditions and systems that can be examined by endoscopy. The normal and abnormal endoscopic appearance of structures will be visually demonstrated and the way endoscopy fits into the overall approach to cases is discussed.
The day is intended to be relaxed, informal and very interactive with plenty of discussion time available. The course will be useful for all mixed and equine clinicians looking to improve their knowledge of endoscopy in the horse. |
