The postgraduate certificate (PgC) in Small Animal Medicine or Small Animal Surgery is now available to veterinary surgeons in Scotland.
The certificates are aimed at veterinary surgeons who have a particular interest in small animal medicine or small animal surgery, and who have been in practice for at least two years. As it is expected that participants will be employed in practice on a full-time basis, CPD would be undertaken alongside their work.
Collaborating on the certificates are veterinary CPD provider Improve International, Harper Adams University and the European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ESVPS).
"As the veterinary sector becomes increasingly competitive, many practitioners are seeking additional qualifications to enhance their career prospects and boost their skills and confidence in practice," said David Babington, founder of Improve International.
"With time at a premium, we've had a lot of interest from practitioners working in Scotland for a PgC which is more accessible to them," he added. "As a result, we're now delighted to be adding Glasgow to our list of venues."
The certificates involve a practical skills assessment and over twenty taught sessions over two years, leading to a final exam. Students must also prepare a case diary and final case report.
