Course description

This course develops and enhances students' knowledge and applied skills in performing thorough gross necropsies, selecting appropriate specimens for diagnostic testing, and investigating and understanding pathological processes, such that a diagnostic plan and appropriate testing to achieve a diagnostic outcome are achieved. Advanced concepts and skills in clinical pathology will also be developed. All training is case-based, as students work through materials and cases submitted through the Veterinary Laboratory Services as well as scenario-based modules. Students will also complete capstone training in the regulatory environment in which veterinarians must practice, as well as abattoir placement as part of their clinical extramural studies program.
