In an effort to continue resident training, we have put together three additional neurology modules to form Brain Camp Online Part II. This course will begin with a review of functional neuroanatomy, will progress to large animal neurology, including equine and production animal neurology, and will finish with neuropathology with a focus on spinal cord diseases.
Following the same model as our original Brain Camp Online offerings, each of the three additional courses will consist of 6-7 hours of pre-recorded lectures, followed by a 1-hour scheduled live Q&A with the presenter(s). Content will be available on demand, where learners can take the course at their convenience.
ACVIM / ECVIM-CA / ECVN candidates: $180.00 per module
ACVIM / ECVIM-CA / ECVN Diplomates, ESVN members: $225.00 per module
Non-members: $325.00 per module
Registration fee for each module includes 6-7 hours of pre-recorded content and 1 hour of live Q&A with the presenters. Live Q&A will be recorded and made available on demand for those who are not able to participate live.
Course content, once launched, will be available through June 30, 2022.
For additional questions, please contact us at Learning@ACVIM.org.

COURSE LEADER
Sheila Carrera-Justiz, DVM, DACVIM (Neurology)
Clinical Associate Professor & Service Chief, Neurology
University of Florida
Dr. Sheila Carrera-Justiz completed her DVM at the University of Florida in 2005, followed by a rotating small animal internship at the University of Missouri and a neurology specialty internship at the Veterinary Specialty Hospital of San Diego. She then completed a residency in Neurology at Tufts University and attained board certification in 2010. She obtained the Neurosurgery Certificate of Training from the ACVIM in 2013. She spent a few years in private practice before returning to academia. Her professional interests lie in novel neurosurgical approaches, advanced imaging techniques and clinical teaching.
Neuroanatomy
Christine Thomson, BVSc (Hons), PhD, DACVIM (Neurology), DECVN
Neurology Specialist
Animal Referral Hospital Brisbane
Dr. Chris Thomson graduated from University of Melbourne, in 1983, completed a small animal medical and surgical neurology residency at North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine and a PhD in neuroscience at University of Glasgow, UK. She worked at Melbourne, Glasgow, and Massey Universities, and latterly, in the Veterinary Medicine Department at University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Dr. Thomson recently swapped Alaska’s -30 degree C lifestyle for a +30 degree C one in Queensland, Australia and is working in private referral practice at the Animal Referral Hospital, Brisbane. Along with her colleague, Dr. Caroline Hahn, they’ve distilled decades of study and teaching about clinical neuroanatomy and neurological localization into ‘Veterinary Neuroanatomy: a clinical Approach (Elsevier 2012).
Large Animal Neurology
Monica Aleman, MVZ Cert., PhD, DACVIM (LAIM, Neurology)
Terry Holliday Equine and Comparative Neurology Endowed Presidential Chair
University of California, Davis
Dr. Monica Aleman obtained her veterinary degree at the University UNAM-Mexico and completed residencies in large animal internal medicine (equine emphasis) and neurology and neurosurgery at UC Davis. She completed a PhD in comparative pathology in neuromuscular disorders at UCD, and her research has expanded from the comprehensive clinical description of neurologic disorders to the discovery of a genetic mutation, development of novel diagnostic modalities, and understanding of pathophysiology of neurological and muscle disorders in multiple species with equine emphasis. Dr. Aleman is a regular speaker in national and international meetings. Dr. Aleman was recently awarded with the Terry Holliday Equine and Comparative Neurology Endowed Presidential Chair.
