Small Animal Critical Care Medicine

Catalog description

This course offers a comprehensive overview of several key aspects of critical care medicine. Lectures will primarily use a "case-based" approach with discussion of the physiology of organ function and the pathophysiology of disease, and will highlight state-of-the-art concepts for these exciting patients. The final session will be a "hands-on" laboratory in which the students will work with the monitoring instruments that have been discussed during the course. Evaluation will be based on a take home examination.
