Course Description
Upon completing this course, students will have obtained knowledge and skills that can positively impact educational, veterinary and economic outcomes by applying their drug knowledge resources to veterinary situations. This course will provide valuable instruction on the uses and indications of human and veterinary labeled medications used in the treatment of diseases affecting animal patients. Common animal disease states affecting small animals, large animals and food animals will be presented and discussed. Legal and regulatory issues that affect the practice of veterinary pharmacy will be emphasized. Exploration and utilization of text and internet-based veterinary-specific resources will be highlighted. Additionally, current topics in veterinary medicine and veterinary pharmacy will be discussed.
Justification
Pharmacists in suburban or rural community settings often receive prescriptions from veterinarians for animal patients. To prepare graduates to meet the legal counseling requirements and to prevent or resolve drug-related problems, instruction on veterinary disease states and the human and veterinary prescription medications used to treat these conditions is warranted.
