This subject will be presented through a Problem Based Learning (PBL) format over four weeks based on case studies. It will present cases addressing endemic, notifiable and emergency animal diseases, risk assessment and biosecurity at the national, state and farm levels allowing students to increase their skills to competently investigate an animal disease outbreak. This includes understanding the varietal nature of on-farm biosecurity principles and hygienic practices, and being able to implement these in a disease risk situation. The content of the subject will be tightly aligned with the relevant traditional veterinary disciplines and will address many of the Veterinary Graduate Attributes of Charles Sturt University.
