May 24, June 14, July 12 and September 13, 2021

Participants will witness the experience and knowledge of experts in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiological pathologies of horses to set-up, run and evaluate electrocardiograms. Dominique DeClercq, Mary Durando, Lesley Young and Inge Wijnberg will discuss their approaches, diagnosis and prognosis of findings and treatment options as they proceed.

The German Academy for Continuous Veterinary Education (ATF) credits each webinar for 2 hours! This holds for the participants that will view the livestream only. After a webinar, the participants shall send an email to contact@agpferd.com stating that she / he did view the webinar. Then I can add to the certificate of attendance the credited hours of ATF only.

ATF does not credit the hours of CPE to those of you registered for the webinar but viewing the records after the webinar only. The records will be available at request one time for viewing following a livestream.
