- The ADE is organized as follow:
practical exercise in surgical or ambulatory rooms of the Surgery Unit of the OVUD. According to the number, students will be divided in two or three groups and as a group will take place directly ultrasound examination on didactic horses (two hours), the other group will follow the teaching materials (slide) to interpret and perform the ultrasonografic diagnosis under the teacher supervision. - Other information

- Extended program
- The ADE foresees the carrying out of practical activity of musculoskeletal ultrasonography on didactic horses and interpretation of abnormal findings on clinical cases. Acquisition of ultrasonographic scans of metacarpus, pastern, fetlock, carpal canal and stifle.
Description and interpretation of the ultrasonographic images.
