Summary

What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify clinical presentations through analysis of patient history and physical examination findings.

  • Analyze key pathogenic mechanisms within clinical contexts, integrating patient history and clinical features.

  • Formulate and prioritize a problem list through evaluation of clinical presentations and using knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms.

  • Construct and rank an appropriate differential diagnosis list based on a thorough assessment of the problem list.

  • Develop an initial diagnostic plan based on the problem list and differentials.

  • Continually update ranked problem list, differential diagnosis, and diagnostic plan by integrating clinical, biochemical, pathologic, and imaging data.

  • Apply a variety of therapeutic modalities—pharmacologic, biological, physical, surgical, environmental, and nutritional—to manage or prevent pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying disorders.

  • Describe disease progression or resolution patterns.

  • Assess treatment responses against expected outcomes and adjust management strategies accordingly.

  • Apply principles of extra-label drug use, withdrawal times, and responsible drug administration in accordance with relevant regulations and guidelines.

  • Access, analyze, and apply scientific literature and justify clinical decisions based on credibility and applicability of the information.

Student experience

the class

Explore animal diseases and dysfunction spanning multiple body systems. Through a structured approach comprising various modules, including cognitions, senses, and response and reproduction, 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.
