Students will engage in comparative examination and exploration of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal systems, and the roles that these closely related systems play in maintaining homeostasis and animal wellness. The course will integrate how differences in anatomy, physiology, husbandry, and genetics of the species affect the function of these systems. Collaborative learning instruction, using a combination of peer instruction and team-based learning activities, will be used to promote competency in identifying, diagnosing, and managing cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal system disorders. Students will explore and acquire the critical thought processes needed to select and interpret relevant diagnostic tests and determine appropriate treatment plans for diseases involving these organ systems.
