	Objectives
	THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ELEMENTS NECESSARY AND INDISPENSABLE FOR A CORRECT AND COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF PHARMACOKINETIC, PHARMACODYNAMIC AND ADVERSE REACTIONS PROCESSES, AND THE METHODS OF ADMINISTERING DRUGS FOR USE IN LIVESTOCK AND PETS. MOREOVER, THE COURSE ALSO AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS FOR THE CORRECT USE OF DRUGS IN ANIMALS IN TERMS OF DISEASE CONTROL AND TREATMENT. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW: -THE PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EXAMINED DRUG CLASSES; -THE BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE DISEASE, THE THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS AND THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF THE DRUG CLASSES CONSIDERED -THE MAIN CONTRAINDICATIONS, SIDE EFFECTS AND ADVERSE EVENTS OF THE USED DRUGS. THE STUDENT, BY APPLYING THE ACQUIRED SKILLS, MUST BE ABLE TO: -KNOW THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF DRUGS USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES IN ANIMAL SPECIES; -EVALUATE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF DRUGS IN THE MAIN DISEASES OF VETERINARY INTEREST TREATED DURING THE COURSE.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE CONSISTS OF LECTURES THAT TAKE PLACE IN THE CLASSROOM BY USING POWERPOINT PROJECTIONS. PARTICIPATION IN FRONTAL TEACHING IS MANDATORY AND ACCESS TO THE EXAM REQUIRES THE ATTENDANCE OF AT LEAST 80% OF THE HOURS OF LECTURES. THE FREQUENCY WILL BE VERIFIED USING THE EASYBADGE AUTOMATIC DETECTION SYSTEM PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY.

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAMINATION WITH ASSESSMENT IN THIRTIETH. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST, LASTING UP TO 30 MINUTES, WHICH CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION ON THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS INDICATED IN THE TEACHING PROGRAM AND IS AIMED AT ASCERTAINING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT, AND TO VERIFY THE EXPOSURE CAPACITY BY USING THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO ORGANIZE THE TOPICS INDEPENDENTLY. THE SCORE OF THE ORAL EXAM IS AIMED AT EVALUATING THE THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE STUDENT. THE MINIMUM SCORE WILL BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE STUDENT SHOWING KNOWLEDGE ON THE FUNDAMENTALS OF DRUGS USED IN THERAPY. THE PRAISE CAN BE AWARDED TO STUDENTS WHO WILL REACH THE MAXIMUM MARK OF 30/30 AND WILL PROVE TO BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED IN CLASS.
