Objective : |
|
At the end of the
course, the student would : |
-
be able to
decide the most appropriate technique or laboratory test for veterinary
diagnosis cases
-

Synopsis : |
|
This course
emphasizes the use and interpretation of haematology, clinical
biochemistry to assist in the diagnosis of disease. This course is
conducted through lectures, assignments, and discussions to understand
the methods of interpretation of laboratory test results. The
students are given current cases selected from the University Veterinary
Hospital as materials in case interpretation and problem solving. |
