This elective lab-based course expands upon the treatment of diseases and conditions that are discussed in VMEDG 1661 and 1662 and introduces more advanced topics related to equine practice. This course is designed for those students who have an interest in primary equine practice and those who may want to pursue advanced training in equine medicine and surgery after completing the DVM degree. It is also open to students that want to go directly into mixed animal practice following graduation. Class sessions will include labs, workshops, student oral presentations, and a paper. The major objective of this course is to ensure the competence and confidence of those Midwestern University CVM graduates who become equine practitioners, especially those planning on pursuing internships.
