Patología del caballo simplificada

In this class, students will learn about horse pathology, also known as equine veterinarian medicine. This class is purely informative, and does not qualify as medical training nor do I recommend students attempt to implement it as such. A veterinarian must always be consulted when infection/disease is present. That being said, there is still valuable information that all horse enthusiasts should be privy to. This information is more advanced than elementary, but it is not college level by any means. I hope to bridge the gap between the two levels to accommodate for those within that audience category. 

Class meets once a week for ten weeks, comprised of slides, "check-in" times (for questions and discussion for both sides), and open discussion. This is a great course for those interested in going into the veterinarian field someday, but the knowledge isn't limited to that application.

I keep a "relaxed" policy on all my classes, I find that some people in the overall horse community can take things too seriously and it destroys all the fun and puts unnecessary pressure on students. These are serious topics but I strive to make the classroom environment as lighthearted as possible.

Basic understanding of equine anatomy is heavily recommended. Some concepts might be harder to grasp if the student does not have prior knowledge on horse anatomy.
