- Students are trained on printed radiographic films or on a computer reading station. Students will be mainly trained to recognize the radiographic view, to criticize the radiographic technique and to locate normal anatomical structures. The teaching will include radiology of small animal and equines.

|
| Basic practical clinical course for all vet students on clinical examinations and diagnosis of main diseases of poultry, rabbits (production and pets) and rodents (pets).
This is a basic course for all vet students not a specialisation course
Course begins by films describing poultry production and post-mortem examinations of poultry, rabbit and pigeon.
Then students mainly make necropsies and whenever possible clinical examinations of animal species described above either sent directly by owners or by veterinarians for specialized examinations . |

- The main objective of the teaching activity is to stimulate the students to image analysis through interaction with the teachers. Specific objectives are: be able recognize and name the radiographic views, be able to criticize the radiographic technique, be able to identify normal anatomical structures, give a solid base of radiographic image analysis before applying theoretical knowledge to clinical cases film readings.

| This note in Companion Animal Internal Medicine and Anesthésiology Clinic will constitute 1/7of the global note of Companion Animal Clinics |
| | Surgery and reproduction of companion animals |
|
| Prerequisite will be tested first thing on Wednesday morning.
Questions specific to the clinical training will be included into the small animals and equine reproduction written exam.(VETE0436-1).
The evaluation of the student's performance during the clinic and the marks for the prerequiste test will also be considered in the final mark.
Any unjustified absence during the week of clinical course will mean a general mark of 0/20 for the subject:"Small Animal Clinic" regardless the marks obtained in the other constitutive topics.
Examination in september will be similar to that of june. However, if number of students allow students would be informed on the day of 1st session results that an oral exam might be replacing the originally planned written exam. |

|
| Each student will be evaluated orally during the week on small animal and equine radiographs. The student should be able to describe the radiographic view, to criticize the technique and to localize normal anatomical structures.
The marks of the clinic of diagnostic imaging will have a weight of 1/7 of the total marks of the course of Companion Animal Clinic. |
| | Birds, lagomorpha and rodent medicine |
|
| Written work in group with continuous evaluation by the staff during the week and possibility of test at the end of the week.
This mark account for 2/9 of the final mark for the clinic of small animals.
Unjustified absence will lead to a 0/20 mark for the course but also for all courses under ref. VETE0450-1 whatever were the marks in the other courses
Students in September retakes will have to spend a week in the clinic at a moment determined by the incumbent (Associated Prof. Dr D. Marlier), possibly during holiday. During this week, the staff will continuously evaluate them.
During visit of farms and/or bird and small mammals rehabilitation centres students must have an irreproachable attitude and behaviour. Failure to respect these indications is enough to get a serious insufficiency (7/20) as final note. |
