Equine Emergency and Critcal Care Lecture Course

This course is the lecture portion of VCSN6560, comprising advanced lectures and case discussions on equine emergency and critical care. The course will focus on pathophysiology of shock and critical cases, with clinical case material to illustrate principles and generate discussion. There will be no laboratory sessions as part of this course, with a reduced number of credits compared to the full course with laboratory sessions. A high teacher to student ratio in lecture sessions will allow in depth discussion and participation of all students in a case-based problem- based approach to critical care. The grade will be based on participation as well as a final examination in the form of a clinical problem similar to all the other clinical case problems presented throughout the course and discussed in a group setting. Active participation in discussion and in- person attendance is mandatory. 2 Credit Hours
