COMPANION ANIMAL AND EQUINE MEDICINE I

MEDSC-V 570

Introduces use of the problem oriented medical record concepts, history taking, physical examination and basic restraint, and diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in large and small domestic animals.

MEDSC-V 741

Explore animal diseases and dysfunction spanning multiple body systems. Through a structured approach comprising various modules, including foundations of disease, and barriers and defense, explore disease etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methodologies, therapeutic interventions, and preventive strategies. Interdisciplinary perspectives will be employed to develop an understanding of the mechanisms underlying various animal diseases. Apply didactic knowledge to real-world scenarios. Utilize foundational knowledge with an emphasis on practical clinical applications and the development of clinical reasoning essential for navigating the complexities of veterinary practice.

MEDSC-V 731

Develop a comprehensive understanding of the foundational concepts underpinning the normal, healthy animal. Through a structured approach comprising various modules, including foundations of homeostasis, movement and support, and circulation and respiration, delve into essential anatomical and functional elements vital for animal health. Emphasizing the intricate interplay of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems, gain crucial insights into the mechanisms orchestrating communication and control to uphold homeostasis. Integrating disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, and radiology, combine foundational knowledge with an emphasis on practical clinical applications and the development of critical thinking essential for navigating the complexities of veterinary practice.

MEDSC-V 634

Basic principles for food animal species. Integrates food animal medicine, theriogenology, nutrition and preventive medicine concepts.

MEDSC-V 633

Basic concepts of well-animal companion animal and equine health care, nutrition, and reproduction will be presented. Discussion of the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of important internal medicine and reproductive diseases in these species will be emphasized.
