Canine Arthritis Management has been challenging how to identify and manage this disease since being launched in 2016 by Dr. Hannah Capon. We have worked hard to deliver current, evidence-based, relevant and empathetic information directly to the dog owner, while prioritising a mutually beneficial, respectful relationship between vet, therapist, canine professional, and owner.
Continuing our mission, we have created an online modular course for veterinary and canine professionals to increase their awareness and knowledge of canine arthritis and positively influence owners and their dogs.
CAMadvocate Level 1 is a modular course for the canine professional to improve their understanding of canine arthritis, and to define their role in identification, diagnosis, and management of this neglected condition. Consisting of 10 modules, each containing video presentations, course notes, downloads, owner-focused tools, further online learning, and social media uploads, the course allows you to work entirely at your own pace with no deadlines and unlimited access to the course materials.
Course objectives:
● Increase awareness of canine osteoarthritis.
● Improve identification of dogs with canine osteoarthritis.
● Instruct the canine professional in their role in supporting an owner and their dog
from suspicion to long-term management plan.
Participants will be taught through case-based learning to ensure context of the content and enable immediate implementation into their professional role.
The course enables quick incorporation of evidence-based principles into the participant’s service provision, with relevant downloads and owner-focused resources appropriately structured into the modular course.
On completion of the course, participants will be able to use the title CAMadvocate, and resources are available on course completion to advertise their superior understanding.
This program has been approved for 10 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval.
