| Course abstract | |
| The professional traineeship program for VMF students, undertaken at the end of the 8th semester, comprises tasks performed under the supervision of VMF academic staff and practising veterinarians, with the aim of consolidating the theoretical knowledge acquired at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and developing practical skills under the guidance of a practising veterinarian at a chosen traineeship site in Latvia or abroad. The traineeship program includes tasks assigned and supervised by veterinarians to familiarize students with the organization of the veterinary work in settings of large animal holdings; to enhance their competencies in the clinical examination of animals and in the clinical and pathoanatomical diagnostics of infectious and internal diseases and surgical conditions of large animals; and to train them in the implementation of therapeutic and prophylactic measures. Furthermore, the program provides opportunities to develop core skills in gynecological examination of animals, artificial insemination, and obstetric assistance. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| Knowledge: Upon completion of the traineeship, the student will have acquired the ability to apply in practice the knowledge obtained in the clinical study subjects. Assessment is performed by a practising veterinarian, the traineeship supervisor at the place of traineeship, and is reflected in a written Trainee`s description.
Skills: Strengthening of practical skills in the clinical examination of large animals; in the clinical and pathoanatomical diagnosis of infectious and internal diseases and surgical conditions of large animals; and in the implementation of therapeutic and preventive measures. Students also acquire foundational skills in the gynecological examination of farm animals, artificial insemination, and obstetrical assistance. Assessment is conducted by a practising veterinarian - the traineeship supervisor at the place of traineeship and reflected in a written Trainee`s description. Competence: The ability to independently analyze clinical cases and assess the overall health status of the herd. Evaluation takes into account the assessment provided by the traineeship supervisor at the place of traineeship, as well as the academic staff’s evaluation based on the submitted internship documentation and clinical case presentation. The final assessment is formal test (pass / fail). |
