PRE-CLINICAL TOPICS IN VETERINARY MEDICINE

MEDSC-V 736

Begin development of foundational clinical skills needed by veterinarians to excel in the current, demanding clinical veterinary environment. Emphasizing hands-on training to build a strong foundation in the correct handling, restraint, and physical examination of multiple species. Through a structured approach in various laboratories, move toward performance of these skills at a pre-novice I level.

MEDSC-V 746

Extend development of foundational clinical skills needed by veterinarians to excel in the current demanding clinical veterinary environment. Engage in dynamic practice and simulations in handling, restraint, and in-depth physical examinations of various species to move towards performance of these skills at a pre-novice II level.

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.
