SAMS 5200 - Spring 05Course ID: SAMS 5200Instructor / Coordinator: Phillip A. Moore Semester: Spring 05 Required elements
The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by the instructor may be necessary. 1. The student should review their freshman ophthalmic anatomy, histology and physiology notes. An anatomy study guide will be provided to the students at the beginning of the course. 2. Review ophthalmic examination techniques and interpretation of ophthalmic findings study guide before the examination Lab on February 3, 2004. Attendance at the examination Lab is mandatory. The students should review the ophthalmology C/D before the Lab. 3. Approximately 3-5 cases will be assigned during the course. The assigned dates for the cases have yet to be determined, but the students will have 3 to 5 days to complete during the course. 4. There will be two CALC-sessions one on February 23-24, 2004 and one on March 15-16, 2004. Attendance at the CALC-sessions is mandatory. Examination 1: 25% of the final grade Examination 2(cases): 25% of the final grade Final examination: 50% of the final grade. Grading policy: A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: Anything less than 60 Students are expected to abide by the academic honesty policies and guidelines outlined in the College of Veterinary Medicine Code of Conduct. When taking examination 2 (cases) and the final examination, the student may use their notes, any text, articles etc. to answer the questions; however, the students may not have help from other students or other individuals when working on examination 2 (cases). Communications with other students during examination 2(cases) will be consider a violation of the honor code. When taking the final examination, the students may work with other students on evaluating the slides and histories for the final examination. On and after March 22, 2004 at 5:00 PM, the remaining portion of the examination is to be completed without the help of other individuals. Once the questions have been handed out, communication with other students about the test will be considered a violation of the honor code. All case histories and final examination questions are to be turned in with your answer sheet. If the case histories and examination questions are not turned in with the grade sheets, a grade will not be given in the course. Making copies of the case histories, examination questions or case slides will be considered a violation of the honor code. A violation of the honor code will result in a grade of zero for the course. Attendance is mandatory for the examination lab on February 3, 2004 and the CALC sessions February 23-24, 2004 and March 15-16, 2004. It is strongly recommended that you attend lectures as the course is taught from slides illustrating clinical examples of disease. Due to the nature of the cases, examinations, and final examination, students that do not attend lecture may have a difficult time interpreting the ophthalmic findings on the slides and may find the test material difficult. Required: Lecture handouts will be given to the students before or at the time of the lecture. Freshman ophthalmology anatomy, physiology, and histology notes. The lecture slides will be placed on the web after each lecture. Study slides and study guides will be placed on the web and/or Calc-server to help the students familiarize themselves with ocular anatomy, ocular pharmacology, and ophthalmic examination techniques and to become custom to interpreting common ophthalmic findings.

none The purposes of this course are to introduce students to the basic medical information necessary to deal with the common ophthalmology problems of dogs, cats, and large animal. This class is designed to help students develop the problem-solving skills necessary to diagnose and treat the most common ophthalmic problems. The course is important to those who wish to practice small animal, mixed animal or large animal medicine. The student should have a complete knowledge in ophthalmic anatomy. The student should be able to identify and interpret common ophthalmic examination findings, identify ocular conditions, disease and syndromes discussed in class. The student should be able to provide rule outs for these conditions, and know how to diagnosis and treat the common ophthalmic disorders presented in class.
