The Final year rotation will see the DVM III students build on their DVM II VPH experience and practice VPH with veterinarians working in the field. Students will be placed on rotation with various practitioners of Veterinary Public health (e.g. laboratories, PIRSA, SARDI, AQIS) and may undertake experiences within abattoirs and other food and meat processing facilities. Some weekend and out of hours work may be expected within the rotation. Topic Definition: Veterinary Public Health has been defined by FAO/WHO/OIE as 'the sum of all contributions to the physical, mental and social well-being of humans through an understanding and application of veterinary science'. Veterinary Public Health thus embraces the following areas of knowledge: diagnosis, surveillance, epidemiology, control, prevention and elimination of zoonosis and of diseases that threaten food security and social cohesion; protection of food (including meat and milk) for human consumption; food and meat science; environmental protection; animal welfare standards; and the social, behavioural and mental aspects of human-animal relationships.
