Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Six practical sessions are organized: equine dentistry, equine colic approach, orthopaedic exam part 2 (EQ), surgical instruments (CA), cutaneous sutures on cadavers (CA), bandages (CA).
For the practical activities of this teaching unit, students should know and apply biosecurity rules available at this address : https://www.fmv-biosecurite.ulg.ac.be/
Presence of the students is MANDATORY. Any delay or absence must be communicated to Nadine Dumont (nadine.dumont@uliege.be). The missed practical session must be followed later by inserting another group after confirmation with Nadine Dumont (for CA sessions) or Yves Doyen (for EQ sessions) (yves.doyen@uliege.be). Any non excused absence exposes the student to being inadmissible to the theoretical exam.
Films exposing surure techniques, surgical instruments and bandages must be viewed before going to the 3 sessions in CA. Those films are accessible on ecampus.
The evaluation of the practical sessions is a global appreciation of the participation of the student.
The EBM part includes 3 hours of group works. Attendance is mandatory.
If the theorethical exam is not validated, students do not have to follow the practical activities a second time as soon as they reached the pass level for those activities.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face.
Both distance and face-to-face learning for the EBM practicals
Recommended or required readings
Course notes will be available on ecampus.
Assessment methods and criteria
A written exam will be organized on each session.
The final mark results from a combination of 85% for general medicine, and 15% for EBM. This mark can not be split between the subfields of the course. A final mark < 10/20 will result in the student having to sit the exam again for the entire content of the course.
