Clinical Veterinary Science 2 (CVS2) is the second unit in the Clinical Veterinary Science theme. It builds upon and extends the knowledge and understanding of the management and prevention of disease in individuals, groups and populations established in the Clinical Veterinary Science 1 unit. In this theme, clinical case management, advanced problem solving and clinical reasoning skills are developed. The CVS2 unit continues the systems-based teaching across the common domestic species, companion and food animals, and exotics, incorporating pathology, medicine, surgery and therapeutics and implications for veterinary public health and food safety. Lectures are complemented by case-based learning in small and large groups and through independent study. The unit will continue to develop students’ capacity for lifelong learning and foster an understanding of the importance of basic science in clinical practice.
By the end of the unit students will be able to:
End of unit examination: Students will sit an examination at the end of the unit consisting of written/computer-based papers. These will test knowledge and understanding of material covered in the Clinical Veterinary Science 2 unit, interpretation and problem solving, and diagnostic and reasoning skills. Students will be expected to draw upon their underlying knowledge from the Clinical Veterinary Science, Animal Disease and Animal Health Science themes.
Formative assessment: Students will have formative assessment in the unit for example questions presented in lectures (e.g. using TurningPoint) and / or available online via Blackboard. Students will receive guidance and feedback on questions. Students are required to keep a log of clinical examinations completed in Extra Mural Studies (EMS).
The overall unit mark is made up of:
End of unit written/computer-based examinations:
Assessments will be mapped to the curriculum and will examine the intended learning outcomes.
Passing Clinical Veterinary Science 2 is a requirement for progression to Year 5.
There will be an opportunity to re-sit the examinations in August / September
