VET SC 7310RW - Equine Practice Rotation

The course provides students with the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge within the field of equine medicine and surgery. By focussing on the basic principles of evaluating case history, assessing clinical presentations, formulating differential diagnosis lists, and applying appropriate treatment or management of common medical and surgical conditions encountered in equine practice, students will improve upon the five key day one competencies. The course will be conducted within the Equine Health and Performance Centre, with one week spent in the equine surgery unit, one within the medicine service and one in the ambulatory equine unit. In addition to participating in all daily professional veterinary service activities, all students must participate in the rostered on-call emergency service after hours (weekends and evenings), case based hospital rounds and small group teaching activities. .
