This subject, together with Veterinary Clinical Sciences Part 2, make up the fourth
level of the BVSc degree program and the first of two years of the veterinary science
curriculum that are focused on preparing graduates for veterinary practice. The veterinary
science curriculum is structured around a number of overlapping themes that combine
knowledge, skills and attitudes. The themes are: Structure and Function; Dysfunction,
Agents of Disease and Defence; Animal Production, Management; Veterinary Services;
Veterinary Practice; and Veterinary Career Development. The focus of this subject
is on Small Animal Clinical Studies; Equine Clinical Studies, Bovine Health and Production
and Veterinary Career Development. Bovine Health and Production provide grounding
in aspects of animal production relevant to veterinary practice.. Veterinary Practice
will provide a foundation in the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for clinical
practice, small animal clinical studies, exotic mammals and equine medicine and surgery.
The Veterinary Career Development theme will provide students with the skills necessary
to practice as a veterinarian in our changing world and to be able to continually
access and use information as knowledge progresses.
