Advanced Equine Health Care and Management “Advanced Equine Health Care and Management” will be taught by Michael M. Fugaro, VMD, dACVS, a veterinarian and associate professor of equine studies at Centenary College and an adjunct professor at Rutgers. The course will be offered from 7:15 to 8:35 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday beginning January 23 through May 5, 2008.
This course will present in-depth information on the diseases and common emergency disorders of the horse. It will utilize basic concepts of anatomy and physiology, apply them to clinical situations that might arise in horses, and teach students how to effectively manage many of these health-related situations. A limited number of seats in the program are being made available to continuing education (non-matriculated) students.
Students will learn about “normal” thresholds, as well as problems
associated with the major physical systems of the horse. Three exams and a
group oral presentation will be part of the required course work.
The course is recommended for equine enthusiasts with a medical interest, managers/ owners of equine facilities, and students interested in medical science.
In order to enroll, students must have at least a high school diploma; it is recommended, but not required, that attendees have completed “Horse Management”, taught by Sarah Ralston, VMD, Ph.D., dACVN (offered each fall semester). If you register as a continuing education student you will receive 3.6 continuing education units, rather then undergraduate college credits.
The Complete Equine Veterinary Manual (2nd ed)., Pavord, T and Pavord M., 2005, David Charles. An additional required text on Equine First Aid will be announced during the semester. Students may purchase the texts independently or purchase them at the Cook-Douglass Cooperative Bookstore, located on the Cook Campus in New Brunswick.
If you register as a Continuing Professional Education student (CPE) you will receive 3.6 continuing education units and a certificate in lieu of undergraduate college credits.
CPE tuition fee is $545 prior to January 16, 2008 and $585 if received after January 17, 2008. A discounted fee of $495 per person is offered for multiple registrants from same organization or family. Note: Course fees must be paid in full prior to start of class.
