Students assigned to this service participate with the faculty, technicians, and residents of the Large Animal Medicine service in the diagnosis and care of patients. The goal of this course is for students to acquire knowledge and skills in history taking, physical examination, selection and completion of appropriate ancillary tests, diagnosis, treatment plan, and patient care. Daily rounds and discussions are used to monitor patient progress and further educate students. If time allows, sit-down rounds to discuss medical disorders are provided.
