Contents	The contents of the module cover the methodological bases for the direct clinical examination of the different apparatus and the etiopathogenesis and the pathophysiology of the most common diseases of the horse, ruminants and swine. The applicative criteria of the main collateral and instrumental exams needed to diagnose the internal medicine of large animals are outlined.
Reference texts	1) SEMEIOLOGIA CLINICA VETERINARIA, Ciaramella Paolo - Poletto Editore, Milano, 2014. 2) Large animal internal medicine – Smith; Mosby Ed 3) Equine internal medicine – Reed; Bayly; Saunders Ed
Educational objectives	At the end of the course the student must be able to: - perform the particular objective examination of the individual apparatus. - know the etiopathogenesis and the pathophysiology of the most common diseases of large animals. - express a suspect diagnostic and identify the most useful collateral and instrumental exams to confirm the diagnosis. - use the main tools for collateral analysis in the internal medicine of large animals and provide an interpretation of the results.
Teaching methods	The module is organized in 27 hours of theoretical lectures and 12 hours per student of practical sessions. THEORY: in the classroom on the topics described in the syllabus. PRACTICE: at Internal Medicine and Acceptance Service of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and at the Teaching Farm o the Deparment, on cases with spontaneous diseases and raised at the Teaching Farm.
