VETERINARY DISEASE AND DYSFUNCTION I

ANSCI/DYSCI 320

Provides an introduction to and exploration of the interconnectivity between factors that affect health and disease and the central role of the immune system using infectious disease in animals as a key focus. Explores principal causes and identification of animal diseases, common diseases of farm animals, zoonoses and public health, disease prevention and management including biosecurity measures and host immune responses. Fosters appreciation for the translatability and universality of knowledge between human and animal health and disease.

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 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 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 732

Develop a comprehensive understanding of the foundational concepts underpinning the normal, healthy animal. Through a structured approach comprising various modules, including eating and eliminating, and cognition, senses and response, 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.
