Level and Prerequisites:
This
intermediate course will be open to veterinarians actively interested in
an overview of respiratory, musculoskeletal disease and orthopedics, gastroenterology,
dentistry and behavior information. This course is the fourth of six modules in the
Organ System Pathophysiology and ABVP Core Examination review series.
The MULT207-1016: Pathologic Basis of Disease and the MULT208-0217: Principles of Medicine
courses are recommended prerequisites.
VIN CE Course: Open to veterinarians.
This course is approved by RACE for veterinarians. (RACE 22-29845)
Course Information:
The fourth of six modules in the Organ System Pathophysiology and
ABVP Core Examination review series, this course is designed to cover
the pathophysiological basis of disease in small animals based on
pathophysiological and discipline-specific concepts.
Clinical examples will be used to illustrate these concepts.
The Organ System Pathophysiology and ABVP Core Examination Review series
of courses may be used as a comprehensive review for the ABVP examination
for small animals. This series of courses repeats every other year.
Individual instructors may change some of their material year-to-year,
but much of the core content is repeated. It should be noted that these
courses are not designed specifically as a preparation for test taking.
The instructors do not have access to information on the question types.
Furthermore the questions used on the examination may be a few years behind
the current knowledge and practice, whereas the course will strive to be
more current. We recommend using the course to
- keep progressing through the topics so all topics
will have been studied prior to the exam and
- provide participants with feedback on their strongest and weakest topics
to guide their individual exam specific preparations.
