Cases presented in this subject will be characterised by greater complexity as the prognosis, clinical course of the disease, and sometimes the treatment, must be balanced against the animal's welfare, client expectations, age of the animal and cost of intervention. Acute emergency patients requiring critical care/intensive therapy parallel the pressures placed on a clinician in real practice. Students will also be challenged to take each case on its merit and to ensure that knowledge and skills required for more routine cases are not forgotten.
The content of the subject will integrate pre-clinical and clinical disciplines. Case material will be augmented by Resource Sessions, which will include highlight lectures. Companion Animal Medicine and Surgery 3 will present four PBL packages over a four week period.
