As a veterinary science student at the University of Arizona, faculty mentors will challenge you to apply what you learn to real-world experiences based on your interests. You'll explore human-animal relationships, animal reproduction, anatomy and physiology, the care of animal populations, microbiology, disease ecology and pathology. Application of knowledge, Relate basic veterinary science and biomedical knowledge to practical and real-life applications. Critical appraisal of scientific literature. Applying biological principles to vet science, Apply molecular and cellular biological principles and mechanisms to organismal and population manifestations of animal health and disease. Health vs Disease states of animals, Differentiate normal animal anatomy and physiology vs pathologies in disease states of animals. Diagnosis and treatment of animal disease, Formulate a simple diagnostic and treatment plan for some of the most common animal diseases. Emerging, Zoonotic Disease, Develop ideas, plans, or approaches that combat new-emerging diseases, zoonotic and non-zoonotic diseases that are spread through animal-to-animal and animal-to-human transmission.
