Dear participants,
I am thrilled to have you join us on this journey into feline medicine. Throughout this course, we will explore key aspects of feline health, focusing on respiratory, gastrointestinal, and geriatric diseases. The curriculum will cover a range of topics, starting with upper and lower respiratory conditions, progressing to chronic gastrointestinal disturbances, and examining common age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The program will feature case-based discussions that will enhance your understanding of these specific conditions, providing you with practical insights into diagnosis and management. Additionally, hands-on training will be offered in critical procedures, including the placement of thoracic drains, nasal sampling, and inserting feeding tubes, among others. These practical sessions aim to equip you with the skills necessary for effective clinical practice in feline medicine.
We look forward to engaging with you in these specialized areas and supporting your development in this field.
Yi Cui
DVM, DECVIM-CA, MRCVS
DVM, ECVIM-CA, MRCVS, European Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine
Yi’s love and passion for animals has led her to pursue the art of veterinary science at the university of Ghent (Belgium). To get a taste of all the different specialisations in companion animals, she finished a rotating internship the following year and visited many different universities in the UK, Germany, France and Switzerland, exploring the different worlds of internal medicine. This gave her the insight in how the same problem can be approached from many different angles with each their own advantages and disadvantages. After her travels, she started a residency Internal Medicine at the university of Giessen (Germany) and became an European Internal Medicine specialist in 2019.
To explore different academic environments, she worked at the Universities of Ghent, Utrecht and Bern, to practice Internal Medicine and learn from esteemed colleagues in their own respectable fields. After her academic career she tried private practice in Hong Kong, to experience a completely new environment, which has taught her many lessons.
Exploring new places, learning different ways of medicine and experiencing new cultures has been an important part of her personal growth. That is why, in 2023, she decided to explore the world, one country at the time and work online, educating and supporting primary vets. Combining that with working in different clinics around the world, learning from other colleagues and volunteering at local shelters.

Course background and summary:
POA in veterianry internal medicine is a stepwise process of gathering case information; defining problems; making plans for diagnosis, treatment, and client education; and evaluating patient progress over time. This explicit method of diagnostic reasoning forms the basis of evidence-based veterinary medicine and informed decision making.
This three-days course will provide the attendants with a logical, easy to replicate diagnostic approach to the most common clinical signs encountered in general practice. The speakers will use evidence based-medicine and clinical scenarios to show how, by means of a systematic approach, it is possible to start from a clinical symptom and to arrive at a provisional/definitive diagnosis ensuring both clients’ satisfaction and best patients’ care. The participants will find the course very useful and inspiring and will be able to apply what they have learnt into day-to-day practice. Both speakers are European Board-Certified Specialists in small animal internal medicine and have mastered POA-based teaching courses over many years in Europe and worldwide.
