Masterclass: Psychopharmacology

Course overview

Dr. Katrin Jahn, a double-board certified specialist in veterinary behaviour medicine, hosts this practical, case-based masterclass focusing on the recognition, assessment, and treatment of clinical behaviour cases that may include a pain component as part of their presentation. Four cases with different presentations will be examined, using Dr. Jahn's "7 Ms" treatment approach to give veterinary professionals a framework to use on their own patients to ensure that all angles have been addressed to support better outcomes. The underlying physiological and pathophysiological processes that contribute to these cases will be addressed, and evidence-based best practices and approaches that can make significant changes in these patients' outcomes will be considered. The masterclass is underpinned by physiology and neurobiochemistry and their respective pathologies, enabling attendees to make the connections between presentations, underlying causes, and treatment approaches.
