Enhance your problem-solving abilities with a course designed to develop a rational, pathophysiologically-based approach to the diagnosis and management of internal medicine cases.
Led by Jill Maddison and Sue Bennett, and recently joined by Susan Carr, this modular course begins as clinical work does: focusing on the presenting problem. It advances to a pathophysiologically-based approach to diagnosing and managing internal medicine cases. The course encourages you to reflect and critically evaluate your case workup procedures, thereby improving your clinical effectiveness and outcomes.
In addition to the extensive course notes, recorded lectures, tutor-assessed case work and discussion forums, the online and onsite workshops provide an invaluable opportunity to deepen and broaden your understanding of how you think and learn, enhance your problem-solving skills though group case work, and explore various key internal medicine topics with your peers and tutors.
If you are preparing for the small animal medicine membership examinations of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS), this course offers excellent preparation, equipping you with a robust problem-solving framework for successful and rewarding patient management.

Past Participants
IMPS is a practice changing approach to assessing and working up cases that wasn't taught at my University. The modules are well structured and achievable with appropriate cases in the assignments to consolidate learning by way of thinking and problem solving, not cutting and pasting sections of text from the notes. Jill & co have done an outstanding job structuring the course and I recommend it to anyone wanting to develop a rational approach to medical cases to make their work lives a bit easier.
Kim Benning
The course was phenomenal, and I wish there was a level 2 for the clinical reasoning problem solving approach, as a follow on from what was covered with Jill Maddison and her amazing team
