ONLINE LECTURE SERIES CONTENT
This lecture series is intended to fill in the gaps for practitioners dealing with potential endocrine cases. The series will include a large amount of discussion as well as lecture-based information, and will primarily cover EMS and PPID including the important principles that might have been forgotten as well as approaches to more challenging scenarios. Rarer endocrine disorders such as thyroid disorders, disorders of calcium homeostasis and hyperlipidaemia will also be covered.

Further Details on the Individual Modules:
Equine Metabolic Syndrome - Facing the daily challenge
This initial session will focus on many of the fundamentally important points underpinning EMS including pathophysiology relevant to practitioners and the relationship of EMS with other conditions such as obesity, hyperlipaemia and Diabetes mellitus. Routine choices of diagnostic tests will also be appraised.
Equine Metabolic Syndrome – When things get difficult
This session will include discussion of more challenging clinical scenarios of EMS such as how to manage cases that don’t respond to the standard plan and how/when to apply drug therapy.
Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction - Facing the daily challenge
This session will cover many of the fundamentally important points underpinning PPID including pathophysiology relevant to practitioners and the relationship of PPID with other conditions such as EMS, vit E deficiency. Routine choices of diagnostic tests will also be appraised.
Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction – Dealing with tricky cases
This session will cover approaches to the less straightforward PPID cases that are frequently encountered and will include alterative treatment options. Rather than purely focusing on simple control of pars intermedia secretion, the importance of issues such as insulin dysregulation and weight loss will also be discussed.
Other Endocrine Disorders
This final session will complete the series with coverage of more minor endocrine issues such as thyroid disorders, disorders of calcium homeostasis and hyperlipaemia.

Andy graduated from Bristol in 1988 and after two years in mixed practice started in ambulatory equine practice in the Midlands. He gained the RCVS CertEP in 1993 before moving to Liphook Equine Hospital in 1994, becoming a partner in 2001. This was followed by the RCVS diploma in equine internal medicine in 2003 and European diploma in equine internal medicine in 2004. Andy has continued to perform a little first opinion ambulatory work although he now mainly works in the new hospital at Liphook with medical in-patients and the diagnostic laboratory. He has recently been appointed as visiting professor at the University of Surrey, Guildford and is involved in the development of a new veterinary school there. Andy’s main professional interests are in endocrine disease, liver disease, dermatology, infectious diseases and most other aspects of internal medicine.
More InfoDr. Frank grew up in the United Kingdom and then trained in the United States. He received his BSc degree in biology from the University of North Carolina in 1989 and his DVM degree from Purdue University in 1993. After working for two years in private equine practice in Illinois, he returned to Purdue University and completed his large animal medicine residency training and PhD degree. In 2002, Dr. Frank joined the faculty of the University of Tennessee as a clinician and developed research programs in the areas of equine endocrinology, metabolism, gastrointestinal disease, and laminitis. In 2011, he moved to Tufts University in Grafton, Mass. and took the position of academic chair for the Department of Clinical Sciences. He continues to consult on equine internal medicine cases and coordinate clinical research.
More InfoDr. Steve O'Grady was a professional farrier for ten years prior to obtaining his degree in veterinary medicine. He learned the farrier trade through a formal apprenticeship under "Hall of Fame" farrier, Joseph M. Pierce, of West Chester, Pennsylvania. He then returned to school, attended Haverford College and went on to graduate from the University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science in South Africa with a DVM Degree in 1981. After graduating from veterinary school, Dr. O'Grady did an equine internship in Cape Town, South Africa. From here he went on to join Dr. Dan Flynn at the prestigious Georgetown Equine Hospital in Charlottesville, VA where he stayed for 10 years before opening his own practice devoted to competition horses and farriery.
In 2003, Dr. O'Grady opened Northern Virginia Equine in Marshall, Virginia which is a referral practice devoted to foot disease and equine therapeutic farriery. Here he combines his skills as a veterinarian and a farrier to better understand and treat problems of the foot. Dr. O'Grady has published 25 peer-reviewed papers in the veterinary literature, numerous papers in the farrier literature, written ten book chapters and edited two editions of Veterinary Clinics of North America on equine podiatry and therapeutic farriery - all resulting from his extensive work in equine podiatry. In 2003, he was inducted into the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame and in 2009; he received the AAEP President's Award for his work in farrier education.
