Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course describes the internal medicine diseases most frequently encountered in equids. Using a problem-based approach, a differential diagnosis of the problem will be given. Therefore, the diseases will be described, with a special emphasis on the clinical signs, the risk factors, the diagnostic methods, the prognosis, and the treatment. A specific chapter will be devoted to medical imaging of the locomotor system, abdomen, thorax and head. Basic concepts of clinical nutrition and genetic counselling will be included in several chapiters.

Assessment methods and criteria
The evaluation is organised as a written examination including multiple choice questions (MCQs) and open assay questions.
The examination will consist of two distinct parts: one on the orthopedic chapter (including imaging of the locomotor system), and the other on the other chapters. The weighting of the final mark of the exam will be divided up to 20% on the first part and 80% on the second part. The success of the two parts (set at 10/20) conditions the acquisition of the credits of this teaching unit. In case of failure in one of the two parts, the final score will be the score obtained in this part without weighting with the other note.
In case of failure, the student will be questioned, in the second session or the next academic year, only on the part in which he failed, and his mark will be calculated taking into account the mark obtained in the first session for the successful part.
