Obiettivi Formativi

Clinica medica animali da compagnia - La finalità del corso è quella di fornire un metodo logico, teorico-pratico, che partendo da un approfondito esame clinico porti alla diagnosi di malattia nel cane e nel gatto. Lo studente imparerà ad affrontare i problemi clinici iniziando dal loro riconoscimento, individuando le possibili diagnosi differenziali elencate in maniera logica e che tengano pertanto conto della loro probabilità di ricorrere in quel dato contesto. Lo studente sarà quindi in grado di stabilire un programma diagnostico specifico per le differenti diagnosi differenziali prese in considerazione , indicando, nel contempo, un piano terapeutico adeguato al tipo di paziente. Lo studente verrà inoltre guidato, attraverso esercitazioni pratiche, ad effettuare autonomamente le più comuni manualità cliniche in relazione alla specie.
