Overview

This comprehensive course is intended for animal care professionals, veterinary students, and health practitioners looking to expand their understanding of a canine body.

Profound knowledge of anatomy and physiology is essential for any career in animal healthcare.  To properly understand how an animal grows, moves, digests foods, gets ill and recovers from an injury, we must first understand how healthy organs and organ systems function together to sustain life.

The course represents a systemic study of anatomy and physiology and includes an in-depth review of all body systems. A particular focus is placed on a locomotion system and biomechanics of the spine and limbs. Students will also learn the pathophysiology of the common canine diseases encountered through injury or aging.

    The course is very well structured with plenty of additional resources if you want to go back and learn a specific part in depth. I found the lessons are well formatted and I particularly enjoyed the video links suggested.

    I have had a great experience, everything about the learning platform was simple and effective, and my instructor was there to help me. I was able to progress through my study on my own time frame, not having deadline to finish the study was very convenient.
