The teaching of the CU is mainly theorectical and theorico-practical work, in order to equip students with the knowledge and clinical reasoning to allow them to participate, from the start of the CU SAMS I and II, of the 5th year, in the clinical cases presented to the Veterinary hospital of ICBAS, regardless of the speciality, with a solid base of knowlledge. With this principle, the main objectives of the CU relate mostly with the knowllege of the most frequent diseases of companion animals, teached by organs or systems, comprising its aetiology, pathophisiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, therapeutic management and prognostic factors. In the practical part of the discipline, the therorectical information will be complemented with the application of ancillary diagnostic methods to the various systems, their advantages, risks, methods and interpretation.
It is intended that students acquire theoretical knowledge about the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of various diseases of companion animals. Given the magnitude and complexity of theoretical knowledge that exist for different pathologies, it is intended that students also master the ability to learn and acquire autonomous theoretical knowledge using complementary sources (books, periodicals, other) thus allowing for group discussions and analysis of questions and issues that have risen.

The final classification is the result obtained in the final examination (20).The score of each module (themes presented by each lecturer) has a percentual value that matches the percentage of the corresponding classes.
The written assessment will take place as a final examination, constituted by two parts with equal weight. In the "normal examination period", the first part will be evaluated in the "reviews interim" period and the second one in the formal "normal examination period". In the "appeal exam period" the whole of the subjects will be evaluated.
For approval, students must obtain a minimum of 50% in both parts of the exam.Those that do not obtain such mark in one of the parts will have to repeat in the subsequent "appeal period".
According to the legislation in force.
Through final examination in the "rescue" date or any other, according to regulations. Partial improvements are not allowed.
