Veterinary case studies

Are you looking for...

• A fun project for students to work through in your animal science or veterinary science classes?

• A way to synthesize all the information you've covered in those classes?

• A way for your Vet Science CDE team to practice breed & disease identification & specific techniques?

Our Veterinary Case Studies are just for you! Each case study presents a patient & walks students through a patient history, physical exam or facility evaluation, testing or treatment, & ends with a walkthrough of the disease & how the case relates to that disease!

These case studies are designed to be worked through page by page, with each page providing a little more information & posing questions for students to work through. They may be completed in a series of class periods, or each page may be sent home for independent study. These cases are also great for super driven students who learn best through application.

Each case study meets the following objectives:

1. Practice working collaboratively in small groups

2. Practice identifying credible sources & sifting through information

3. Practice working up a veterinary case, including

   1. Collecting & evaluating historical information

   2. Evaluating physical exam or facility evaluation findings

   3. Identifying abnormal findings

   4. Formulating problem lists & differential diagnoses

4. Use critical thinking to synthesize case information with prior knowledge

5. Learn & use new veterinary vocabulary

6. Learn more about the disease presented in the case

Each case study includes:

1. Case study activity worksheet

2. Case study key - includes answers to all questions for teachers, plus a list of objectives & recommendations for completion

3. Case study presentation - for some cases, this presentation includes pictures or videos that further illustrate aspects of the case, while for other it includes the same information as the activity worksheet so you can pace students

We currently have four case studies available with more on the way! Our goal is to provide students insight into the most common diseases for both small animal & large animal interests!

• Non-transmissible disease (livestock)

• Transmissible disease (poultry)

• Transmissible disease (small animal)

• Non-transmissible disease (horses)
