Advanced Large Animal Medicine Lecture Course

This elective will build on the basic large animal medicine concepts presented in Basic Large Animal Medicine elective. This course is intended for students with a special interest in large animal internal medicine, with a focus on the diagnosis and management of more advanced medical disorders, including neonatology. The course will have two main arms: 1) an introduction to large animal neonatology, through lectures; and 2) a continuation of topics introduced in basic large animal medicine, with seminar discussions for students to practice their advanced internal medicine cognitive skills. The final week, each student will present a case-based presentation regarding a large animal medical condition and discuss the primary literature relevant to that condition. The limited number of students in this elective will allow for in-depth discussions and focused case dialogue with direct supervision. Active participation in lectures and seminars is expected and in-person attendance is mandatory. The course grade will be dependent on engagement, preparation, and effort in case discussions, reading and reviewing the primary literature, and the final presentation. Seminars will be case-based discussions and linked to the lectures given during that week. 2 Credit Hours
