Overview The capstone for the Master of Veterinary Science is an Integrative Learning Experience (ILE) project, which integrates your previous learnings into a structured problem-solving project. It is designed to provide students with an activity that will help them synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired during the MVS coursework. Over two […]

Overview Application of statistical methods to epidemiology, clinical and diagnostic medicine, and laboratory biomedical experiments. Topics include data collection and organization, data cleaning, data visualization, descriptive statistics, reliability, sample size estimation, analysis of group differences, correlation and linear regression. Emphasizes use of computerized statistical software in biomedical data analysis. Learning Objectives Upon successful completion of […]

Overview Introducing the immune system functions in health maintenance. The content will train students to consider the role of the immune system in animal responses to various health challenges and prompt them to develop an integrated, science-based approach in solving health problems by applying their knowledge of immune system structure and function in comprehending how […]

Overview Participants will apply their foundational knowledge of anatomy, physiology, immunology, microbiology, and pathology in evaluating and solving health failure problems in the major body systems. The graduate level course will use a problem-driven, case-based approach to train students how to apply the basic principles of health science in solving clinical problems in individual animals. […]

Overview The learning activities will train students to use a systems-based approach to explain how each organ system detects and responds to health challenges. Students will be asked to apply their knowledge of structure and function of the major body systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, immune, nervous, metabolic, and reproductive, etc.) and to explore the […]

Overview The course includes an overview of relevant veterinary microbiology and the interaction between microbes and their hosts. The course will build upon knowledge acquired in VCM 507, and relevant physiology pertaining to disease prevalence, prevention, and pathology will be discussed. The host immune system will be highlighted, and important bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites […]

Overview This course uses a series of clinical problems to provide students with a veterinary medical context for understanding the structure and function of the major body systems (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, nervous, and reproductive, etc. Students will be guided through the process of applying foundational scientific principles in the solving of common clinical cases using […]
