The Clinical Logic in Doctoring coursework (VETM 804A, 804B, 804C, and 804D) represents four consecutive semesters and will utilize small-group engaged learning sessions that are integrated with the coincident systems block. The course focuses primarily on developing problem solving and critical thinking skills. Each week students are presented with a clinical case to study, discuss, and \"solve\". The cases will be developed from clinical cases seen by veterinarians in the affiliate clinical practices and from clinical case banks such as the ThinkSpace cases developed at Iowa State University. While refining medical knowledge is a component, its emphasis is the process of critical thinking and problem solving. The sequence of systems blocks is designed to progressively increase case complexity to prepare students for understanding multisystemic diseases and multi-sectorial approaches.
