Student learning Outcomes

• For the most common clinical and clinicopathological problems associated with the integumentary and endocrine systems across veterinary species, students will understand how to use history and physical examination to generate a prioritized problem list with differential diagnoses.
• For the most common clinical and clinicopathological problems associated with the integumentary and endocrine systems across veterinary species, students will understand how to determine appropriate diagnostic tests based on differential diagnoses.
• For the most common clinical and clinicopathological problems associated with the integumentary and endocrine systems across veterinary species, students will understand how to explain and perform diagnostic tests and how to interpret results in order to reach a working diagnosis.
• For the most common clinical and clinicopathological problems associated with the integumentary and endocrine systems across veterinary species, students will understand how to discuss the underlying pathophysiology of common diseases and compare and contrast with anatomy and physiology of a healthy patient.
• For the most common clinical and clinicopathological problems associated with the integumentary and endocrine systems across veterinary species, students will understand how to describe therapeutic, monitoring, management, and will understand preventive approaches to common disease processes including expected outcome and prognosis.
