Large Animal Medicine

Large Animal Medicine is a course that begins to bridge the gap between the theoretical knowledge that students have obtained in the pre-clinical curriculum, and the world of clinical medicine that you will encounter in the large (and small) animal teaching hospitals, as well as for the rest of your career. This course aims to teach students to gather the information from previous lectures and integrate it with new information acquired from the course materials, the internet, scientific literature, and expert opinion. We will use traditional lectures, hands-on laboratories, and case study projects to achieve these goals. Species covered will include horses, cattle, small ruminants, camelids, and swine. This course is P/F, and assessments include successful completion of all labs and case studies, and an in-class, time-limited open book final examination focused on application and analysis of skills and knowledge covered in the course. 5 Credit Hours
