Clinical Rotation with the Behavior Medicine Service

2.0 credits · VM

This clinical rotation will help students to understand normal animal behavior, primarily dogs and cats but also horses and other domestic species. They will gain the knowledge of how to prevent undesirable behaviors that can be utilized daily in clinics. In addition, we will discuss medical conditions which mimic or contribute to behavior problems. Students will practice taking behavioral history, making diagnoses and treatment plans for patients, and delivering treatment plans to strengthen client communication skills.
