| Duration : | 24h Th, 6h Pr |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Marc Balligand, Valeria Busoni, Annick Gabriel, Sigrid Grulke, Annick Hamaide, Kamal Touati |
|
| Coordinator : | Annick Gabriel |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| The lessons of clinical anatomy aims at studying , in a topographic way, the anatomy of domestic animals, by insisting particularly on the zones of clinical interest. The teaching of topographic anatomy permits to study the relationships between the different organs, as well as an integrated study of the different systems within a region, in a very targeted and practical way. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| A the end of the lessons, students must be able to describe and draw the morphology and the topography of anatomical structures and to anote an image (radiography, echography, scanner, anatomical chart, photo of dissection). In practics, the student must be able to adapt the knowledge to the professional requirements, particularly in the field of clinical sciences; medical imaging, semiology, propedeutics and surgery as well as in foodstuffs inspection |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The knowledge of descriptive and comparative anatomy of domestic animals is necessary. The students must have made a success of the examinations for anatomy of domestic animals I, II and III. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The presence in practical class is compulsory. A student having one unjustified absence during this practical class can be refused for his examination of first session.
6 hours of practical class are planned. The students must prepare the subject before coming in the dissection room, oral questions will be ask. A certificative evaluation will take place during the last session of TP.
These will take place in the morning by 3 groups of students (approximately 18 students).
4 TPs of 1:30 will be organized: 2 on carnivores, 1 on equids and 1 on the animals of production. 2 last ones will be made on alive animals, in clinic and will be mainly sessions of topographic anatomy.
For carnivores, the 1st TP will approach the locomotor system with various surgical drainings with the articular drainings; the 2nd the laparotomy. This TPs will take place in the dissection room of the 3rd bac students ( B43).
Biosecurity measures: the acces to the dissection rooms (B43, Niv 1) is only by the rear of the B43 (parking side). Students come with their own rubber boots, latex (or silicone) gloves and dissection case. Wearing gloves is obligatory. It is forbidden to drink, eat or smoke within the dissection room. Students must wear apron and rubber boots as soon as they penetrate the dissection room and these must be take away as soon as they live the room. Rubber boots and hands have to be washed in depth and disinfected at the end of each dissection. Students must be vaccinated againts tetanos. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| 24 hours of theoretical courses are planned, during the first quadrimester, at the rythm of 2 hours a week.
The course will begin with the clinical anatomy of the domestic carnivores. We shall study the clinical anatomy of equids and animals of production. We shall end with the clinical anatomy of the rabbit and birds if there's still some time left available.

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The evaluation will take place during the session of January. The students will have 2 questions to develop, at least one orally and will have to legend a radiographic image (or ultrasound, scan, anatomical chart, photo of dissection) shown during the lessons. If the first question concerns the carnivores, the other question will concern the horse or the ruminants (and vice versa); if the first question concerns "hard tissues", the other question will concern "soft tissues" (and vice versa). The final note corresponds to the rounded up average (in case of number with decimal) if 3 quotations (including the practical evaluation) are superior or equal to 10 and rounded down if one of the notes is lower than 10.
The students experiencing difficulties can ask in the course of the year to pass "white" examinations. They have to book an appointment by e-mail and bound the subject about which they wish to be questioned. |

Organizational remarks :
|
| Clinical anatomy bases on the acquired matters of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd baccalaureat and does not include "new subjects" in the strict sense of the word. The students having good bases in anatomy thus make a success of this course very easily.
If prerequisites are not sufficient, hours of additional learning will be necessary to allow to make the necessary links with the courses of semiology, propedeutics, surgery and pathology. |
