课程大纲

Week 1: The past, present and future of veterinary medicine

Where did veterinary medicine come from and where is it going? This week puts the veterinary profession in historical and scientific context to help you understand its wide role within society and human-animal relations.

 

Week 2: An introduction to Body Systems

The learning materials during this week will focus on providing participants with an overview of anatomy and physiology using selected body systems of the dog as examples. Participants will also be introduced to basic principles of histology. The week will conclude with an overview of comparative aspects of anatomy across different species and a demonstration of pathological change relevant to the systems taught earlier in the week.

 

Week 3: Basic Animal Care

This week will focus on animal care. It will consider the key concepts of what is required for the care of companion animals such as horses, cats & dogs and exotics. It will also look at the husbandry of production animals such as sheep and dairy cattle.

 

Week 4: Veterinary Professional Skills

Being a successful veterinarian is not just about caring for animals; it is also about dealing with clients and having a strong understanding of business processes. During this week we will introduce the importance of key components such as leadership & management, running a business, client care, etc.

 

Week 5: An Introduction to Clinical Skills

Clinical (or “practical”) skills are also essential for a veterinarian to offer excellent care to their patients and clients. The basics of some key clinical skills (such as observation skills, and assessing vital signs of different species) will be introduced this week to provide participants with an insight into some of the clinical skills required in veterinary medicine.
