Handbook

This rotation is based on-campus in Wagga Wagga and is conducted in the CSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory or another approved Diagnostic Laboratory. During the three weeks students will rotate on a weekly basis through Anatomical Pathology, Clinical Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology. Students will be given the opportunity to perform and interpret numerous pathological diagnostic tests including gross pathology and necropsy techniques, histological tissue examination and interpretation to determine the gross functional effects of lesions and be able to make differential diagnoses. Students will also perform and interpret complete blood counts and biochemical profiles, urinalysis, microbial culture and sensitivity, and parasite diagnostic testing for a range of companion and production animals within a commercial veterinary pathology enterprise.
