Presentation
This discipline will show the student the approach to surgical cases, the techniques and skills necessary to carry out common surgical interventions in the practice of farm animal and horse clinics. It is a strong component in the farm animal and equine clinical preparation of future practitioners, as it will provide the skills to decide on whether and how to perform surgery in these animals.

Objectives
Objectives
To know which surgical procedures are commonly seen in farm animal and equine clinics. To acquire theoretical and practical knowledge on the clinical approach of common situations occurring in large animal clinics that might require or will benefit from surgical intervention. To put into proctice the theoretical knowledge acquired in pre-clinical disciplines (anamnesis, physical examination, ancillary diagnostics). To recognise a clinical problem in large animal species, identify the need for surgical intervention, to know the technique and preparation of the surgical tools and environment to carry out the procedures. To achieve a prognosis of presented cases and establish the cost-benefit association of the possible treatment.

Avaliação Teórica:
- 2 Frequências téoricas de 9 valores cada, somando 18 valores no total
- 2 trabalhos de estudo autónomo supervisionado (EAS) de 1 valor cada (um de EQUINOS e um de ESPÉCIES PECUÁRIAS), somando 2 valores no total - com conteúdos de PMAHC II, PCAHC II e Imagiologia EPE
NOTA TEÓRICA FINAL = Freq 1 + Freq 2 + EAS 1 + EAS 2
APROVAÇÃO À COMPONENTE TEÓRICA REQUER UM MÍNIMO DE 9,5 VALORES NA NOTA PRÁTICA FINAL
Avaliação Prática (elementos essenciais para avaliação contínua prática):
- Demonstração individual de competências em aula e/ou em vídeo de 16 valores, sendo 8 valores referentes a equinos e 8 valores referentes a espécies pecuárias.
- 2 Relatórios de grupo (um de EQUINOS e um de ESPÉCIES PECUÁRIAS), de 2 valores cada
Na ausência de um destes elementos práticos, o aluno não aprova por não ter elementos suficientes de avaliação.
