Learning unit contents
This teaching unit includes the following chapters:
- general surgery
- wound healing and treatment: companion animals (CA) and horses
- dentistry (CA and horses)
- first consultation in CA
- management of the most frequent clinical situations in CA practice
- management of the most frequent clinical situations in equine practice
- evidence-based (veterinary) medicine (EB(V)M)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit

- to prepare the students to deal with the most common clinical situations in their future profesional life
- to understand and apply the basics of EB(V)M, and critically appraise medical literature
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic knowledge in anatomy and physiology of domestic animals.
EBM: understanding of scientific english, statistics, epidemiology, bibliographic research and information criticism.
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 Audrey Depas (audrey.depas@uliege.be). The missed practical session must be followed later by inserting another group after confirmation with Audrey Depas (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 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, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face.
Both distance and face-to-face learning for the EBM practicals
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
If face-to-face teaching is forbidden due to covid-19, theoretical courses will be replaced by podcasts available on MyUliege or eCampus.
Practical sessions will be replaced by videos available on eCampus (companion animals and equine). The EBM face-to-face session will be replaced by a written feed-back.
If face-to-face examination is forbidden in June or August 2021, examination will be performed online on eCampus following the same modalities as described in the "assessment methods" chapter.
Recommended or required readings
Course notes will be available on ecampus.
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.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
A written exam will be organized on each session.
The final mark results from a combination of 85% for general medicine and surgery, and 15% for EBM. A final mark < 10/20 will result in the student having to sit the exam again for the entire content of the course.
