| Course description |
This course will consider diseases of the dog and cat only and will take the form of a series of lectures covering the disorders of each body system, providing students with information on the aetiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of each disorder. The final lecture on each body system will bring together the material taught in the form of a problem solving exercise based on a clinical case.
The lecture material will be supplemented by drop in tutorials where students can discuss problems they are having in understanding the taught material. This will be further supplemented with practical classes teaching the correct method of carrying out a clinical examination and classes based on differential diagnosis of disease.
