Canine and Feline Clinical Nutrition
Following C-SAM.2 and C-SAM.5 - next induction 27th September 2010
Registration closes on 22nd September 2010
How Will I be Taught?
All of the course material will be delivered online. A group of vets will participate in the course together and a strong emphasis will be put on encouraging the group to share their expertise and experience and work together with problem solving. Our online facilitator and expert clinicians will be involved in some of the online discussions. We expect the course to take around 3-4 hours per week. New material, tasks and material for discussion will be added each week, with links to further reading and our library resources. Most of the interaction will be asynchronous, so you can study exactly when it suits you best but still benefit from the support of your fellow vets with a common interest. If for any reason you are not available on a particular week, the material will still be available and discussion boards accessible to allow you to catch up.
Please note: you will be expected to log into and take part in a one-week induction session before your first online course starts. Please allow time for this, as it allows you to familiarise yourself with the online course and to get to know your fellow participants. Once you have completed the induction once, you will not be required to complete it for further online courses with us, but you will be required to introduce yourself to the new course group.
