The Equinosis Practitioner Certification Program

The mission of the Equinosis Practitioner Certification Program is to instill capable and confident objective evaluators by standardizing and defining the skills and knowledge required of those offering objective lameness evaluation services with the Equinosis Q. 

A capable objective lameness evaluator understands not only how to collect the data, but how to apply the biomechanical principles in a clinical setting.

The program advances objective lameness care through a structured, competency-based training program, ensuring participants are educated in providing a properly informed evaluation.

*Those who complete the program receive special recognition on the equinosis.com website map of users as a certified Equinosis practitioner.
