Veterinary Anatomic Pathology 2
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and learning experience of the gross and microscopic changes which accompany specific disease conditions of specific organs and the basic knowledge of general and systemic veterinary pathology and oncology. In Necropsy module the student will learn basic necropsy techniques which should be used to detect specific organ system pathologic findings and to draw rational diagnostic conclusions.
Expected learning outcomes
1 - Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the student must have acquired the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to recognize the most frequent and important pathological lesions of the organs and systems treated during the course (including neoplastic lesions) and to identify their
causes and pathogenesis. The student must also know the prognostic, health and economic consequences of the main diseases treated. The student will have to know how to preserve a death animal before submission, which are the most important postmortal alterations, timing of their appearance and the various factor influencing them.
2 - Applying knowledge and understanding
The student will have to use the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired to make a gross pathology diagnosis, and when necessary a differential diagnoses. He should also be able to indicate the most appropriate techniques and methods to achieve a correct
anatomical-pathological diagnosis. Moreover, the student will have to be able to ascertain the animal death, to collect correctly the animal history, to perform a necropsy and the related report of the gross lesions observed employing the correct terminology.
3 - Making judgments At the end of the course the student will have to show to be able to autonomously interpret the morphological alterations related to the anatomical-pathological lesions treated in the course and to correlate the lesion observed in order to define their role in the animal death.
4 - Communication skills In order to develop the capacity of the future veterinary to communicate appropriately with the owner of the animal, at the end of the course the student is asked to explain what has been learned in a simple and clear way using the correct and appropriate scientific terminology.
5 - Life long learning skills
The student will have to demonstrate the ability to use the knowledge acquired to interpret unespected cases of which he has not had direct experience.
