Courses and Workshops
Courses for medical doctors
IlFarm organizes paid workshops for specialized professionals to broaden the knowledge of hirudotherapy in Italy.
The therapeutic treatment with leeches is widely used abroad, and ILFARM's goal is to disseminate this practice among Italian doctors. It is important to underline that treatment with leeches is not suitable for self-medication, it instead always requires a specialist.
Courses for veterinarians
Hirudotherapy is a treatment in rapid and constant expansion also in the veterinary field. Although all mammals of medium or large size are potentially able to benefit from hirudotherapy, in the veterinary field the most used species are dogs, cats and horses, for the treatment of a wide range of pathologies. During the course, in addition to the theory, you will have the opportunity to practice the application of leeches.
