In an effort to continue resident training, we have put together
two additional neurology modules to form Brain Camp Online Part II. This course
will begin with large animal neurology, including equine and production animal
neurology, and will finish with neuropathology with a focus on spinal cord
diseases.
Each of the modules will consist of didactic presentations and
Q&A recorded during the live course. Content is 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 member Diplomates, ESVN members: $225.00 per module
Non-members: $325.00 per module
On demand content is available through:
Large Animal Neurology: September 2, 2025
Neuropathology Part II: September 20, 2023
For additional questions, please contact us at Learning@ACVIM.org.

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.
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.
