Postgraduate Certificate of Veterinary Studies in Small Animal Practice

The Murdoch University Post Graduate Certificate of Veterinary Studies in Small Animal Practice degree is an advanced external studies course that allows you to study from your practice using a variety of up-to-date technologies and teaching methods. It is linked to the Masters in Veterinary Studies in Small Animal Practice which is a unique concept in continuing veterinary education which has won acclaim from the profession and generated much enthusiasm amongst the graduates since its introduction. The programme emphasizes the focus for everyday practice, and a choice of units is offered allowing for completion of the Certificate (3 Units) in only two years.

The course is designed to deliver up-to-date information and training in a broad range of topics that the Small Animal practitioner deals with on a daily basis. Using text, DVDs, CDs, radiographs and electronic contact, the Certificate Degree provides a concise and well selected source of current information aiming to bring the student to a level of understanding significantly higher than that of the undergraduate. The three Units of study can be taken part-time over a minimum of 1.5 years.

Contact with teachers and fellow students is provided by online 'tutorials', and email , while practical exercises allow students to apply their new skills and knowledge as each Unit progresses. The new concepts and information should be applied to the clinical cases seen by the students in practice and these experiences form the basis for the Case Report unit.
