- The course is held within the facilities of the University of Veterinary Medicine. Students are directly involved in the clinical-diagnostic and therapeutic activities of the first-aid service of small animals and large animals.
During practical activities, the student interacts with the veterinarians of the OVUD and also discusses the theoretical aspects of the observed cases.
Each student, collaborating directly with emergency services, will have to personally participate in the various clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers needed to stabilize and monitor critical patients. - Reference texts
