Offers clinical experience in animal care, medication and treatment of veterinary patients and exposure to diagnostic techniques, technical laboratory skills and record keeping used in veterinary practice. Students perform their externships between the freshman and sophomore years or during intersession for a minimum of 200 hours. Students must have acquired a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better in order to participate in externships. Transportation and locating an appropriate externship site are the sole responsibility of the student. The externship site must be pre-approved by the course coordinator prior to the end of the semester preceding the externship. A requirement of participation in the in-house treatment group rotation will be scheduled during the fall or spring semester of the second year. Veterinary Technology students are required to participate in off-campus field trips to area shelters and farms. Four to six trips a semester are scheduled for each student. Also, during the fall semester, sophomore students participate in a seminar class. The grade for this course will be awarded when all aspects of the course are complete. Prerequisites: C or better in VTSC1101/1102, VTSC1200 , BIOL1005/1006 and CHEM1001/1002. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Technology and Science programs.

3.00 Credits
Introduces scientific and technical information about organizations, associations and regulations that apply to animal laboratory care in a research facility. Specifically details the responsibilities of AALAS, AAALC, FDA, NABR, etc. and defines all standards that must be followed in the organized field of laboratory animal science. Managerial skills and responsibilities needed to oversee the functioning of research institutions are covered in detail. Prerequisite: ANSC 2000 or VTSC2000. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Science program.
-
3.00 Credits
This course takes an in-depth look at animal behavior in a variety of species in subject areas such as communications, social structure, biological rhythms, sexual and maternal behavior, development, learning, training, aggression, enrichment and abnormal behavior as it relates to drugs, pain, medical problems, environmental issues and stress. A variety of evaluation methods will be covered as well. Prerequisites: C or better in VTSC1200, VTSC2201, and VTSC2000. VTSC 2000 may be taken concurrently.

3.00 Credits
This course surveys the basic principles of immunology and some basic epidemiological principles. Principles of maintaining animal health, selected zoonotic diseases, and public health concerns are also covered in this course. Regulatory medicine and disease eradication/control programs are explored through the Internet. The course instructor assumes the student has prior knowledge of basic cell biology, hematology, parasitology, and microbiology. Prerequisites: C or better in VTSC2101/2102 and BIOL2502. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Science program.

3.00 Credits
Presented in an organ system format, this course provides a comparative approach to animal health and disease of the major domestic animal species. Eight major systems will be explored (integumentary, musculoskeletal, neurosensory, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal and reproductive). The anatomy and physiology shared by all animals is reviewed with the comparative differences emphasized. Clinical signs of organ dysfunction, pathophysiology, diagnostic tests and treatment/prevention strategies are discussed using examples of selected important diseases. The course instructor assumes that the student has prior knowledge of basic physiological principles, common diagnostic procedures, and common therapeutic practices in veterinary medicine. Prerequisites: C or better in VTSC2000/2101/2102/2201. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Science program. Offered in the fall only.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the veterinary science student interested in clinical medicine a more advanced understanding of diagnostic tests and therapeutic procedures. Selected topics such as various intravenous catheterization techniques, CPR, oncology therapeutics, physical therapy, fluid therapy, and advanced diagnostic imaging will be discussed. The laboratory is designed to give the student a ?hands-on' approach to these techniques. The course instructor assumes that the student has prior knowledge of basic physiological principles, common diagnostic procedures and common therapeutic practices in veterinary medicine. Prerequisites: C or better in VTSC2000/2001/2101/2102/2201/2500. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Science program. Usually offered in the spring.

2.00 Credits
This short course in pain medicine, offered as an elective to Veterinary Science majors, covers the following topics about pain: physiology, assessment, ethical and societal issues, farm animal issues, drug treatments, non-pharmacological treatments, alternative treatments (physical therapy/acupuncture). The veterinary technician will learn skills that will enhance his/her ability to recognize pain and to advocate for the patients. Prerequisites: VTSC1200/2500 or by permission of Instructor. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Science program.

3.00 Credits
This course covers nutrients and their function in the health of the domestic, lab, and exotic species of animals. The first half of the semester provides the backbone for the second half by discussing nutrients, feeds and rations, and commercial diets of healthy animals. The second half of the semester deals with the role nutrition plays in certain diseases of dogs and cats. Different feeding modalities will also be covered in the second half of the semester. Prerequisites: C or better in CHEM3003. A grade of C or better is required for graduation in the Veterinary Science program. Usually offered in the fall.

3.00 Credits
junior year. This would be a detailed course in conformation and the movement of joints and muscles. Students would learn about the principles of normal equine movement as it relates to the limbs and the spine. Diseases associated with poor conformation and the methods to treat poor conformation will be discussed. The role of the farrier in treatment of conformational diseases and the role of new physical therapy modalities will be a part of the discussions. Pre-requisites: ANSC2701.
