Clinical Studies 2

TV4442 - Clinical Studies 2

This subject, together with Clinical Studies 1, forms the fourth year of the veterinary science degree program and the first of two years in the veterinary science curriculum, preparing graduates for veterinary practice. It is the third subject in the Integrated Animal Health and Production series, which emphasises the diagnosis and management of disease conditions and poisoning events in large and small ruminants (including sheep, goats and camelids), introducing medical and surgical conditions in equines, and disease conditions of aquatic species managed within intensive farming systems. Integrating core disciplines such as medicine, surgery, anaesthesiology, reproduction, veterinary public health and epidemiology to support broad clinical competency. Students will develop practical skills and clinical reasoning through case-based learning, hands-on training, and the application of evidence-based approaches to improve patient care and outcomes, while also understanding population-level health considerations and disease control strategies. Additionally, students will undertake extensive work-integrated learning through clinical placements, enabling them to apply their developing competencies in real-world veterinary environments under professional supervision.
