Course contents :
|
|
 | | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| The ruminant clinic (individual cases) was organized by the clinical department of production animals. It enables practical training in medecine, surgery and ruminant reproduction. |
| | Herd health management |
|
| 111 |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| Swine clinics develop activities concerning internal medicine, surgery and/or theriogenology relative to the pig. |
| | Outpatient clinic |
|
| Animal clinic production consists of four activity contexts. The first is the so-called individual cases ruminants (Head Dr. K.Touati) clinic, the second is that of clinical medicine herds (Head Prof. Ch. Hanzen) one third of the outpatient clinic (Head Prof. H. Guyot) and the fourth that of swine clinic (Head: Dr. M.Laitat).
Student training is organized around advisory activities (individual clinical cases), practical work trimming feet and scoring of animals on a farm (outpatient clinic), an exercise conducted data analysis of reproduction and udder health (clinical herds), practical work and seminars (swine clinic). |

|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
| | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| At the end of the week, students should be able to do:
- a complete anamneses
- a complete clinical exam of animals
- discuss the results of clinical exam
- give the first treatment |
| | Herd health management |
|
| 111 |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| Swine clinics consists in different praticals. |
| | Outpatient clinic |
|
| Like other clinical , clinical animal production gives you the opportunity to compare the theoretical lessons learned , past or present , in field situations as authentic as possible . This confrontation is likely to develop your professional skills. These are of various kinds. They are in effect disciplinary , organizational, interpersonal , communication , personal and reflective . It seems appropriate to clarify the content and give some attainable by students of the second GMV examples.
By disciplinary skills means the ability to acquire , understand and engage in as authentic as possible direct knowledge related to the fields of internal medicine, surgery and reproduction of ruminants and pigs situations. As examples include
- Carry out an individual or herd history
- Make a general and special examination proper
- Choose an appropriate strategy propaedeutic
By organizational skills, it means the ability to manage their learning time to define the steps of making a work called ( concept map , individual case report or herd .... ) , control of scientific research . As examples include
- The achievement of a single concept map or group
- Make time testing prerequisites required
- Arrive on time in clinical
- Management of clinical records
- The ability to use IT tools for data management ( Excel ) or reporting (Word, PWP )
- Planning a TFE
By interpersonal skills , means respect for others , listening to advice of his peers and supervisors , the expression of opinion supported the demonstration of leadership in group work or support consultation , the ability to integrate into a working group to discuss and exchange views on an action to take .
For communication skills must include the ability to manage an oral or written information transmission. For example we can quote
- The achievement of a history with a breeder or a colleague
- An expression of opinion on a case or making a group work such as a concept map
- The achievement of a TFE
- Involvement in the confrontation of ideas
By reflexive skills , you can hear the ability to critically analyze a situation or information. As examples include
- Analysis of information provided by the farmer or the practitioner or supervisor within a history
- A review of a scientific paper to identify the relevant information collected by the principle of EBM
- Decide whether or not to further tests
- Make the choice of a therapeutic strategy
- Decide whether or not to refer a case
- A posteriori analysis of the result
Personal skills by means specific to each individual intrinsic qualities including
- A sense of responsibility
- Willingness to assume the permanent concern for quality
- The need to demonstrate a spirit of initiative |

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 |
|
| Active and effective participation in these clinics you require a synthetic knowledge of physiology course, embryology and general and topographic anatomy of ruminants and swine and information taught in the course of semiotics animal production. The book is clinical in this area, a key element.
Whereas the real importance of these 'previous knowledge for successful clinical training and their success, the department has mandated the implementation of a test before the first of four clinical weeks (see below the point estimates). |

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....
Their practice is evaluated at the end of the week relating the technic acte and the practis of general exams. |
| | Herd health management |
|
| 111 |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| An evaluation of the knowledge-being, the knowledge and the know-how of each student will occur during the Swine clinic. |
| | Outpatient clinic |
|
| This clinic is being formative and certification evaluation .
The formative tests relating to the pre-requisites Theriogenology are available online via the platform Exams ( Course bovine and swine medicine ) .
We will conduct a summative evaluation of your knowledge and know -how in each clinic under the clinical animal production. The end result will be the average of the results obtained in each of the four clinics.
The evaluation of knowledge
Ambulatory clinic , knowledge will be evaluated by the scientific staff and / or assistants / teachers at the clinic. It will consist of an oral assessment questions before the TP (Dr MP Decoster , Dr H Pestieau : individual evaluation ) , and the evaluation of the TP scoring ( collective assessment). The expertise and knowledge will be assessed during the TP.
The assessment of life skills
By assessment of life skills means the presence in the hospital , the tests of pre-requisites , personal involvement in the proposed activities. We emphasize that failure to be reported before the start of the clinic. A justification must be sent as soon as possible to the student secretariat and the secretariat of ruminants pole ( marie.Delacroix @ ulg.ac.be 04 366 40 20). A catch-up clinic or lab is only possible if the absence was announced before and confirmed by a certificate after . Contact will be made ¿¿by the student with the responsibility to organize the terms of this catch . If more than three unjustified absences were found , the student will not be allowed to submit the examination certification .
Failure to follow these recommendations will reduce the clinical outcome.
Evaluations of supervisors and clinical activities .
At the end of each clinical activity organized by a teacher, supervisor or research assistant , you will be asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire ( anonymous ) on the activities and supervision provided. Feel free to send us your comments to help us improve your learning activities . |
