PGCert u Osteopatiji Životinja

This Postgraduate Certificate equips qualified osteopaths with the knowledge and skills to apply their training to the evaluation, treatment and management of animals.

Taught by the Osteopathic Centre for Animals (OCA) and validated by the UCO, the course focuses on the osteopathic examination, evaluation and treatment of equines and canines, but the principles can be used to apply to other animals.

You will learn about the behaviour, psychology and interactions of animals, their working and/or recreational environment and the implications this may have on their physical and psychological health. On completion you will have an applied understanding of functional anatomy, conformation and biomechanics and a critical understanding of how these relate to gait, force transference and the life of the animal.

Course content includes a combination of lectures, small group discussions, animal dissection, the integration of patho-physiology and pathology, and practical sessions at local kennels and stables.
