VHM 8350

This fall semester lecture/seminar course reviews recent advances in large animal internal medicine, surgery, and theriogenology at a level appropriate for post-graduate veterinary interns. The course meets three times a week and includes a mix of instructor- and student-directed in-depth discussions of complicated clinical cases and relevant current literature in large animal medicine, surgery and theriogenology. Students are evaluated on their case/paper selection, critical reading skills, presentation skills, and participation in discussions. Considerable out-of-class preparation is required. Students receive formal mid-course and final evaluations. Restriction: DVM or equivalent degree, acceptance as a graduate student in a clinical discipline, and permission of instructor.
