Population Medicine will be presented in a Problem Based Learning (PBL) format over four weeks based around case studies. It will present cases related to production animals and farm livestock, particularly illustrating the management of cases with a population focus. This subject addresses in particular the use of serological and other diagnostic tests in understanding the prevalence and spread of disease and the application of principles of risk management to disease control. This subject will assist students to develop skills in researching and applying best-evidence to result in life-long learning.
