The Canine Rehabilitation
Institute is offering another course in
the UK!
The Canine Rehabilitation Institute is pleased to be returning to the United Kingdom in 2017! Our continuing education courses will be held at the University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine. This brand-new veterinary school has amazing state-of-the-art facilities all in a beautiful park-like setting with hotels nearby in Guildford.
We will be offering our Canine Sports Medicine course first, and assuming we have sufficient demand, we plan to continue with the two remaining courses in our certification program — Introduction to Canine Rehabilitation and The Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. Our program includes these three hands-on courses and an internship at a practice with a certified canine rehabilitation therapist.
