Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
All chapters covering clinical biology (haematology, coagulation, biochemistry, urinalysis) are addressed, from basic concepts to tests used in daily practice. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of laboratory tests and the relationship between clinical examination and test results.
Examples illustrate the course and are taken from companion animal or equine medicine.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective is to reach the fundamental concepts of clinical biochemistry and veterinary haematology. The main goal is to give students the tools they need to easily tackle clinical biology when they become veterinarians in the field.
The specific objectives for each chapter can be found in the course content tab on eCampus.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Biochemistry courses of the first cycle (Bachelor, 2nd and 3rd years).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Practical works are aimed to helping students to interpret correctly the results from the laboratory.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Further information:
The majority of teaching takes place in person in the form of two-hour lectures in the lecture theatre. The general introduction chapter is given in the form of a podcast available on Ecampus.
The chapters devoted to proteins and the specific characteristics of the equine species could be taught remotely by Prof Amory.
