This free online veterinary medicine course introduces how animal health decisions are made across companion animals, livestock, and public health contexts. You will learn comparative anatomy, physiology, body systems, animal behavior, restraint, pain assessment, physical examination, history taking, vital signs, body condition scoring, oral examination, SOAP notes, diagnostic workflows, blood tests, urinalysis, fecal testing, imaging, cytology, microbiology, and lab interpretation.The training then moves into common dog and cat diseases, livestock health, herd biosecurity, reproduction, lameness, nutrition, mastitis control, pharmacology, antimicrobials, pain control, anesthetic agents, vaccines, parasiticides, dosages, adverse effects, surgical care, wound management, emergency triage, preventive medicine, zoonoses, rabies, food safety, One Health, and surveillance. By the end, you should understand major veterinary care areas and know where supervised study is needed.
