Attending Improve International’s
ultrasound course left me truly
amazed by the professionalism
and exceptional knowledge of
the speakers, as well as the
incredible team behind it. This
course propelled me to excel as
a veterinary doctor, deepening
my passion for ultrasound. I
highly recommend it to fellow
professionals seeking to provide
superior care to their patients.

In my private practice, we used
to deal with basic operations.
After completing small animal
surgery postgraduate certificate,
I improved my skills in a lot of
areas that I was not familiar with.
As a result, I was able to offer my
clients higher services dealing
with more complex surgeries
in house and with no need for
referring them. Overall, I think
that the confidence I gained in
performing the operations we
taught, is the most important part
of this course!

From the beginning of my
attendance at Improve
International Cyprus, GPcert SAS
program, I had the feeling that
it was something different for
my professional development.
The experience was outstanding.
Excellent tutors, high level of
presentations, step by step
case approach, one of the most
amazing practical sessions. The
immediate application of the
knowledge gave an enhancement
in my every day practice.
