CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Module 1 – Examination Strategies & Diagnostic Techniques for Muscular Disease (two 40 min sessions followed with case examples)
Lecture 1 – Physical Examination of the Muscular System & Advanced Clinical Pathology Interpretation
Lecture 2 – Diagnostics for the Equine Muscular System.
Though extremely prevalent and common, muscular disorders are often overlooked or misdiagnosed during the acquisition of a clinical history, the evaluation of the equine patient, and upon review of clinical pathology results. This module will cover the examination of the equine muscular system and the specifics of relevant diagnostic tools such as clinical pathology, imaging, genetic testing and muscle biopsy.
Dr. McKenzie graduated veterinary school in Western Australia in 1996, before continuing her training in Canada and the USA. She completed her internal medicine residency concurrent with a PhD investigating equine exertional rhabdomyolysis with Dr. Stephanie Valberg. She is a Professor of Large Animal Internal Medicine at Oregon State University where she has been located since 2005. Dr. McKenzie is a charter diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation and the author of more than 30 research manuscripts relevant to exercising horses and dogs. She is also the current chair for the International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology, a global group that meets every four years to review the most current advances in equine exercise. Her special interests include characterization and prevention of myopathies in horses, the factors relevant to successful athletic performance, and features of nutrition and disease relevant to long distance exercise in horses, dogs and humans.
