Additional information

Unit content:

This unit generally focuses on issues related to animal health and welfare at the subpopulation, population, national, or international level, and requires the student to develop insights beyond the traditional ambit of veterinary medicine into the realms of project execution, legal and governance, economics and sociology. Key topics to be addressed in this unit include biosecurity, food safety and security, regulatory frameworks and policy, micro- and macro-economics, economic and business skills, one health, research and epidemiology. Learnings are project-or placement-dependant and therefore not strictly defined.
