Spring 2025 Lecture Laboratory
Consists of seven 50-minute lectures and/or discussion periods and seven 120-to-150-minute laboratory sessions, plus a comprehensive final exam. Course material is based upon clinical conditions of the production animals that have an anatomical basis or emphasis. Laboratory sessions include topographical anatomy; joint and nerve injections and performance or other clinical procedures; use of multimedia learning aids; and dissection of the head, neck, viscera, and legs.
Learning Outcomes1Recognize, describe and demonstrate the features, positions, and topographical locations of normal anatomical structures which are necessary for conduct of physical examination, including rectal palpation; diagnostic procedures, including contemporary imaging procedures; medical and surgical treatment of common disorders; and necropsy examination of mammalian production animals.
2Describe structure-function inter-relationships of clinically important organs and structures in production animals, particularly as they relate to commonly encountered clinical abnormalities and disorders.
3Recognize and describe anatomical structures associated with commonly encountered surgical disorders in production animals.
4Identify relevant landmarks and be able to perform the most commonly conducted procedures to accomplish local and regional anesthesia in production animals. Explain the anatomical basis of each procedure, as well as the rationale underlying the procedures, and the level of diagnostic and therapeutic specificity of each procedure.
