A special emphasis is made on the interpretation of laboratory results. |
|
| Course objective : | The objective is to reach the fundamental concepts of pathological and clinical veterinary biochemistry.
The main aim is to give the student the tools to understand easily clinical biology when he/she will be in the veterinarian field. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Biochemistry courses of the first cycle (Bachelor, 2nd and 3rd years). |
|
| Workshops : | Practical works are aimed to helping students to interpret correctly the results from the laboratory. Practical works are compulsory. |
|
| Organization : | The time schedules of the theoretical and practical teachings are available at the secretarial office and on the website of the Faculty of Veterinay Medicine. Any change is annouced orally during courses, and put on the intranet portal of the university. |

The reference book is the "Guide des analyses biologiques vétérinaires" written by Christine Médaille and Alexandra Briend-Marchal in 2008, and edited by MED'COM. This book is available at the library of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and in the department of Clinical Biochemistry. |
