| Course abstract | |
| The aim of the course is to teach students to perform postmortem necropsies in competent, systematic and safe manner. These skills are mastered by performing postmortem necropsies of animals of various species. During necropsies students learn to distinguish lesions from postmortem changes, explain causes of lesions, and determine main disease process and cause of death. In necropsy reports students describe lesions, formulate morphological diagnoses, analyse pathogenesis of lesions in context with clinical and laboratory abnormalities and make a conclusion in regards to cause of death. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| Students should know and understand rules for personal and environmental safety, principles of necropsy technique and organ examination, and types of tissue changes [knowledge]. Students should be able independently perform post-mortem examination of various animal species in technically correct and safe manner; recognize and describe various types of changes (postmortal, agonal, incidental changes and lesions associated with disease); select appropriate samples for further diagnostic tests; search, summarize and analyse information in veterinary literature relevant to necropsy cases under investigation [skills]. Students should be able to formulate morphological diagnoses based on the lesion appearance as well as to explain pathogenesis taking into account clinical information and post-mortem condition. Students have to perform thorough analysis of necropsied animals and, using information in the literature, draw conclusions about lesion pathogenesis and cause of death [competence]. | |
