Course/Module description:
The course focuses on preparing the vast information that is taught during the 3rd year of veterinary school for clinical implementation, while clarifying how to clinically think of and approach various specific clinical (e.g., vomiting or icterus) and clinico-patholiogical (e.g., anemia) problems, and how to implement the theoretical knowledge on diagnosing specific cases.
While the theoretical preliminary information is divided to body organs (e.g., kidney, gastrointestinal tract and liver), this course teaches how to address the presenting problem that prompted a visit to the clinic (e.g., vomiting can occur in various diseases and are not a specific finding in intestinal disease alone).
Course/Module aims:
1. To introduce basic clinical approach to medical cases using a problem list (problem-oriented approach)
2. To emphasize to importance of the history and physical examination in building the problems list, teach how to choose high yield problems and build a comprehensive list of differential diagnoses organized in order of frequency and probability.
3. Teach how to build a diagnostic plan, create a minimal data base and specific data base for the high yield problems.
4. Introduce the process of ruling in / out differential diagnoses, using accepted algorithms, until reaching a diagnosis
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
At the end of the course the student will be able to prepare lists of differential diagnoses to high yield clinical and clinic-pathological problems, asses the probability of each differential diagnoses based on theoretical knowledge, build a diagnostic plan to rule in/out differentials and reach a diagnosis. The students will understand how to prepare the theoretical knowledge for clinical implementation in their 4th year and the rest of their career as physicians, and they will have another opportunity to go over the data from different points of experts views.

Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
The lectures are focused on clinical case presentations and discussions, including a chosen problem list, covering various medical subjects; such as problems chosen from the history and physical examination (i.e., jaundice, vomiting and diarrhea, Polyuria & polydipsia, polakiuria, incontinence, lymphadenopathia, splenomegaly, effusions, etc.) and laboratory anomalies (i.e., electrolytes abnormalities).
