- Be able to make a treatment decision
- Integrate into a team
- Discuss with pipes to keep the assistants, and senior scientific staff
dynamic skills
- Properly complete and objective clinical scoring sheets of animals examined
- Have a sense of responsibility
- Assume a permanent concern for quality
- Time management skills
- Namely to facilitate the transmission of information
- Demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| All courses and labs linked to ruminant medecine, surgery and theriogenology acquired the previous years of study. |
| | Herd health management |
|
| 111 |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| An active and effective participation of these clinics you require a synthetic knowledge of physiology courses, embryology and gross anatomy and topography of swine as well as information provided within the framework of the semiotics of animals during production. Basic notions in pharmacology, surgery and ecology applied to domestic animals are required. |
| | Outpatient clinic |
|
| An active and effective participation in these clinics will require an understanding of current synthetic physiology, embryology and general anatomy and topography of ruminants and pigs as well as information provided in the framework of semiotics during animal production. The notebook is clinical in this area, an incontourbale.
Whereas the real importance of these pre-purchased for the success of clinical training and their success, the department has made ¿¿it mandatory to perform a test before the first clinical four weeks (see below point estimates). |

| | Outpatient clinic |
|
| The clinic is held on the site of B42 (seminar room outpatient clinic).
Monday: 8:30 to 9:30: Briefing, presentation of the clinic (shared with 3GMV).
Monday: 9:30 to 12:00: activity self-learning multi-media seminar ¿ online eCampus "approach individual and herd in the prevention of lameness in cattle - Trimming function."
Reading this seminar can be done either at home or in the outpatient room (2 PC available) or in any other faculty computer room. It must be totally covered later Monday to 23:59 (it is allowed to go before the start of the clinic).
Tuesday: 8:30 to 12:00: TP trimming legs. RV at B42, outpatient room. Organized by a Scientific Collaborator (Dr. Decoster MP). It will be checked your knowledge of lameness and trimming (see multi-media seminar). In case of non-obvious knowledge of the matter, the student may be expelled from the TP (then noted "absent").
Wednesday: 8:30 to 12:00: TP "Scoring". Students are required to go to the Provincial Jevoumont Farm (La Reid), on their own, to 8:30. RV at the entrance. This lab will be headed by a Scientific Collaborator (Dr. H. Pestieau, Mobile: 0495-570465). Information about the farm:
http://www.provincedeliege.be/enseignement/secondaire/fr/node/679
To get to the farm, please refer to the indications of ANNEX 1. You will be asked during the TP to score the animals (see course 2GMV herds medicine and clinical medicine book flocks) to encode the data AND interpret thereafter (at the end of TP, everyone returns to the faculty for a debriefing). Please bring boots and overalls OWN! Access to TP will not be allowed if you have not seen the material (control knowledge) and if you do not have your hardware (the student will be so noted "absent"). A scoring sheet to complete is available in ANNEX 2.
Thursday: 8:30 to 12:00: Interpretation of data collected during the scoring of the TP before. A report of your "audit-scoring" will be performed (one for the whole group). On Thursday, you can correspond with Dr. H. Pestieau email all morning and submit your questions. Friday morning to 8:30 at the latest, you are required to report the report (by email, copy hugues.guyot @ ulg.ac.be!) Will be noted. A framework for assistance in drafting your report is in Annex 3.
Friday: 8:30 to 12:00: debriefing passive (monitoring exercises presented by the students of clinical medicine group herd, supervised by Ch Hanzen). RV seminar room "repro" (next to the room ambulatory).
For reasons beyond our control, the order of TP may vary from week to week and may not correspond with what is stated above, if cancellations are possible (we depend on external scientific collaborators) . We will, however, possible to organize an activity in place during cancellation, but can not guarantee it! |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|
| | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| During the clinical week, all students will be evaluated according to their theoritical knowledge, behaviour and practice.
Their theoretical knowledge is evaluated Thursday with a 5 min. written test based on pre-requisites.
Their behaviour is evaluated according to their motivation, tardiness, equipment and attitude....

|
| The summative evaluation
This clinic is being certified assessment and formative assessments.
The formative test prerequisites is available online via the eCampus platform (and Exams).
The assessment of knowledge and skills to be
The student will have at heart to adopt a correct attitude, polished, motivated and pro-active against teachers, assistants, collaborators.
Knowledge will be assessed on a scale of 0-5 (0,1,2,3,4,5) 0 if delay, no material or unexcused absence or apparent lack of interest. A grade of "0" will be assigned if the multi-media seminar has not been read for Monday 23:59 (with control of playback time). We emphasize that any absence be reported BEFORE the start of the clinic. Justification must be transmitted promptly to the student secretariat and the secretariat division ruminants (marie.Delacroix @ ulg.ac.be or Tel: 04 366 40 20).
Catch-up clinic is only possible if the absence was announced BEFORE and confirmed by appropriate documentation after (medical certificate, ticket, other legal certificates). Contact will be made ¿¿by the student with the responsibility to arrange this catch. If more than two unexcused absences were found, the student will not be permitted to submit the examinations of this (1st AND 2nd session).
Knowledge will be assessed based on questions asked by teachers directly (Prof, assistant, associate) during the week clinic. It will be evaluated on a scale of 0-5.
Clinical score of the week is 10 points maximum |

| important
- The clinic begins on Monday at 8:30. Students must be present in the local services ruminants-pigs (B42) (entrance corridor to the left of the entrance of the services). Any activity in which the student is enrolled (seminar, briefing, debriefing, TP / TD) must be worked. In case of late arrival, or in the absence of necessary equipment, the student will be considered absent. In the event of unauthorized absence, a "0" will be assigned as clinical notes for the week.
- Multi-Media Seminar: complete reading of this seminar is mandatory. It will be controlled on eCampus the seminar has been made and the play time will also be monitored. If the seminar has not been read, the student will be considered a "no non-justified" and a "0" will be assigned as clinical notes for the week.
- It should be noted that all clinical (animal identity, client, veterinarian) which students have access are strictly confidential and can not in any way departing from the scope of the ULg-FMV-Clinic Department of Animal Production. It is the same for photos taken at clinics (always ask permission BEFORE using a photo). Every student posting images / videos / information activities within clinical FMV (intra or extramural) in social networks or other networks, will be heavily punished!
- Any pregnant student must absolutely prevent the head of the clinic earlier (Monday 8:30) because some zoonotic risks associated with participation in this clinic. |
