Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Provide the student with the necessary knowledge to integrate knowledge learned in previous UCs, to elaborate differential diagnoses, establish a diagnostic plan, definitive diagnosis, define therapy to be instituted, prognosis and adequate prophylaxis.
Promote autonomous and inclusive learning, research and group work skills.
Allow the development of clinical reasoning through the monitoring of real clinical cases (within the scope of the Service of External Consultation and Internment of Companion Animals of the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Évora - HVUÉ), under the supervision of UC teachers.
Promote, through its direct use in hospitals, the familiarization of students with the different means of complementary diagnosis most frequently used.
Promote communication skills, among peers and with the general public, and the development of professional ethics.

Teaching Methods
Theoretical introduction (T) of the areas of specialty, etiologies, specific clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Study oriented to deepen theoretical knowledge and streamline clinical reasoning.
Theoretical-practical (TP): presentation, exploration and discussion of clinical cases at HVUÉ ,. Monitoring of hospitalized animals at HVUÉ. Presentation and discussion of cases. Assistance to 75% of TP classes to obtain UC attendance.
Continuous assessment of the weighted average between T and assessment (85%) and TP assessment (15%).
Theoretical knowledge will be evaluated through 2 interim evaluations or exam (normal season), in written form.
Theoretical-practical assessment includes attendance and active participation in the activities and work proposed by the teachers.
The assessment by exam consists of tests to assess written and / or oral knowledge, referring to the subject T and TP.
Approves with a minimum rating of 47.5% in 100% in each of the evaluations.
