Learning outcomes
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of the structure and function of the head, limbs, spine and pelvis, and the musculoskeletal, neurological, immune, reproductive and neuroendocrine systems of domestic animals, by: (1a) identifying anatomical structures/regions on a specimen or image; and (1b) describing the functional anatomy and physiological processes of these systems and regions.
At an introductory level, apply knowledge of normal structure and function to solve problems associated with investigation or disease/dysfunction of these systems and regions.
Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, including appropriate use of anatomical, physiological, histological, and diagnostic imaging nomenclature.
Demonstrate clinical proficiency in relevant skills including identifying and safely dissecting tissues using instruments (pre-surgical and necropsy skills), animal examination and identifying normal anatomy and major abnormalities on diagnostic imaging.
Demonstrate the ability to communicate and work effectively as a member of a productive team.
Consistently demonstrate professional conduct through compliance with relevant policies, and ethical and safe use of animals and animal tissues.

Additional information
Some learning activities in this unit involve dead animals and/or animal tissues. Some learning activities involve large animal species (horse, cow, sheep); students who have not completed animal handling and safety training for these species may not be able to fully participate in these activities.
