| Educational objectives | The purpose is to form Vets with an excellent theoretical and practical knowledge of reproductive and pregnancy dysfunctions and diseases of livestock animals, needed to develop diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities appropriate. D1 - KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student must have: 1 Knowledge of reproductive diseases of livestock animals 2 Knowledge of pregnancy diseases, parturition and puerperium 3 Knowledge of main obstetric surgeries D2 - APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING At the end of the training the student will be able to perform: 1 Breeding soundness evaluation of different farm animals 2 Pregnancy diagnois 3 Diagnosis e therapy of main causes of female infertility in different farm animals D3 - MAKING JUDGMENT At the end of the training the student will be able to: 1 Pregnancy diagnosis in different farm animals 2 Perform a diagnostic procedure and therapeutic protocol of the main reproductive diseases 3 Evaluate the prognosis of the main reproductive diseases D4 - COMMUNICATION At the end of the training the student will be able to: 1 Organize, prepare and exhibit, to an audience made up of people of equal level of preparation, a seminar on a data reproductive pathology with their own evaluations supported by appropriate arguments 2 Support an adversarial process with people of equal preparation and experts in different issues, of a regulatory, scientific, procedural and/or technological nature, 3 Demonstrate language properties in both written and oral form, as well as the ability to use terminology that is sufficiently appropriate for a correct approach to the profession, which is also important for job interviews. D5 - LIFELONG LEARNING SKILLS At the end of the training the student will be able to: 1 consult and understand scientific texts, even innovative ones, bibliographic updates, normative dictations, so as to employ them in contexts not only usual for the profession, including research, but also originals 2 manage a sufficiently broad mastery of the subject to guarantee an acceptable basis for continuing professional updating through ongoing lifelong learning. |
