How does the course work?

The veterinary physiotherapy school is a container of skills that aims to meet the ever-growing demand for rehabilitation professionals in the veterinary field.

The academic director, Dr. Francesca Bussi, veterinarian and physiatrist, strongly wanted to organise a course that would meet both the theoretical needs and the practical demands of what was deemed useful, thanks to her working experience gained over several years of rehabilitation practice.

The target audience is veterinarians and veterinary technicians, with a course that is partly shared and partly differentiated. The school offers a complete path in animal rehabilitation that aims to develop their professional skills in the field.

The programme, shaped by veterinarians who are experts in the field, offers a complete path that, starting from the basics, will give you a high-level knowledge of the subject.
