Clinical Studies (CLIN)
These are in-service clinical training courses based on case material presented to the student in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Under supervision, the student is expected to take primary responsibility for case management including decisions related to diagnosis, therapy and client/referring veterinarian communications. Case material studied in each course reflects a different clinical subspecialty commonly occurring in the Fall (F), Winter (W), and Summer (S) semesters respectively.

Case material studied in each course reflects a different clinical subspecialty occurring in Fall (F), Winter (W), and Summer (S) semesters respectively. The student is required to prepare a paper for publication in a recognized peer review journal based on clinical case material presented to the teaching hospital. As an alternative, the paper can be an in-depth review article on a clinically relevant topic.

Basic principles of lesion localization in the domestic species with discussions of diagnostic problems in veterinary neurology.
This course will involve principles of infection control in veterinary hospitals, drawing heavily from information from human medicine and evaluating human information in a veterinary context.
General surgical principles associated with surgical and related treatment of various body systems. This is an applied course with laboratory and written components. Students must have prior surgical training prior to registering for this course.
This course will provide the student with an in-depth understanding of orthopaedic practice and will facilitate revision of materials to prepare board certification.
This course is intended for students pursuing a career in veterinary radiology. Using a lecture-discussion format, the science of x-ray production and the fundamentals of other diagnostic imaging modalities will be presented. The specific applications of these techniques to research and clinical situations will be investigated.
Radiographic changes seen in diseases of the thorax and abdomen are demonstrated by using radiographs. Contrast and special studies are included where applicable.
A continuation of CLIN*6350, covering radiographic abnormalities of the neurological and skeletal systems.
This course will deal with the study of the electrocardiography of the cat, dog, cow and horse. Students will review the mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis and the role of anti-arrhythmic agents in the control of arrhythmogenesis.
A course in advanced veterinary anesthesia and allied topics such as fluid, acid-base, and electrolyte balance, shock therapy, and cardio pulmonary resuscitation.
A discussion, reading and investigative course on research methods in comparative anesthesiology.
A course in advanced veterinary anesthesia that focuses on the scientific literature related to the anesthesia of specific species and veterinary patients with varying underlying diseases.
This is a graduate course designed for DVSc students and residents pursuing further study in the area. The basis of the course is the acquisition and application of knowledge of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease. The subject area(s) will be one or two organ systems, which will not be repeated in either CLIN*6550 or CLIN*6560 over a 3-year period.
