- identify and describe the gross lesions ;
- make an anatomopathological diagnosis by using the appropriate vocabulary and prioritize the lesions;

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Each day, the student will carry out a necropsy exam of a ruminant and draft a preliminary report which will be used as a basis for discussion with the supervisor.
The daily evaluation will assess the relevance of the reported lesions, the knowledge and understanding of the main pathological mechanisms, the cross disciplinary approach of the case and the quality of written and oral presentations on the case.
