COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is the 1st of six modules of the Organ System Pathophysiology and ABVP Core Examination review course. It is designed to cover the pathophysiological basis of disease in small animals based on pathophysiological and discipline-specific concepts. Clinical examples will be used to illustrate these concepts. This module together with the next module on the principles of medicine are designed to prepare the participant for the organ system-based final 4 modules.
The course may be used as a comprehensive review for the ABVP examination for small animals. However it should be noted that it is not designed specifically for preparation for test taking. The instructors do not have access to information on the question types. Furthermore the questions used on the examination may be a few years behind the current knowledge and practice, whereas the course will strive to be more current. We recommend using the course to 1) keep progressing through the topics so all topics will have been studied prior to the exam and 2) to provide participants with feedback on their strongest and weakest topics to guide their individual exam specific preparations.
This course consists of eight (8) 2 hour Real Time Sessions; library materials; interactive message board discussions; and multiple choice test designed to enhance course effectiveness and material retention.
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to

Withdrawal within 1 week after the listed start date (i.e. including no more than one real-time session) entitles the registrant to a credit toward any future VIN CE course.

After the first real-time session, a registrant may withdraw due to special circumstances and receive prorated credit towards a future VIN course. These requests will be handled on an individual basis. The amount of the prorated credit will be determined based on 65% of the time remaining in the course at the time of withdrawal.
