PROPOSAL FOR THE INSTITUTION OF PhD IN VETERINARY MEDICINE 1. PROPONENT AND CONSTITUENT UNIVERSITY College of Veterinary Medicine and Graduate School, University of the Philippines Los Baños 2. RATIONALE One of the missions of the University of the Philippines is “to serve as a graduate university by providing advanced studies and specialization, especially those who serve on the faculty of state and private colleges and universities.” In the Philippines, there is no veterinary school yet that offers a PhD in Veterinary Medicine program. Thus, it is imperative for the UPLB College of Veterinary Medicine, as Commission of Higher Education Center of Excellence in Veterinary Education, to offer a PhD in Veterinary Medicine program. There are currently 24 schools in the Philippines who offer Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program and majority of the faculty have no PhD degree. In addition, graduates of Master of Science in Veterinary Medicine in UPLB from other Asian countries particularly Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Nepal and Indonesia, which do not have PhD program in Veterinary Medicine, have also been inquiring about a PhD program in UPLB. Thus, the proposed PhD program will cater not only to the faculty of veterinary schools and researchers from different institutions in the Philippines but also to veterinarians from other Asian countries who wish to take up their PhD in the Philippines. 3. PROGRAM GOALS (general objectives): broad statements The program aims to produce graduates who can: Design basic and applied studies to understand and investigate problems related to animal health, production and zoonoses; Implement and evaluate innovative strategies and interventions to solve animal health problems; Select, apply and evaluate different procedures for diagnosis of diseases and disorders; Formulate and assess disease prevention, treatment and control measures, considering animal welfare; Communicate veterinary information to a variety of audiences. The graduates of this program will be qualified to: Conduct researches in various research institutions Teach graduate courses in academic institutions Work in government institutions involving animal health and production Table 1 shows the different program goals and corresponding courses that meet each of the goals.

Number of hours: 5 hours a week (2 class, 3 lab) 7. Semesters offered: 2nd semester 8. Course goal: For the student to be knowledgeable of advances in canine medicine and use these advanced techniques in the management of diseases and disorders of dogs. B. Rationale The rapidly increasing practice and business of veterinary clinics in the country is a clear testament of the Filipino’s increasing awareness of the importance of veterinary attention to their pets and their willingness to spend for such service. About 80% of patients brought to local veterinary clinics are canines. Students must be made aware of emerging canine medical problems and be updated on known ones in order to address the demand of increasingly knowledgeable clientele. In addition, advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, such as, but not limited to skin allergy tests, Tru-cut needle or punch biopsy, contrast radiography, electrotherapy, echocardiography, electrocardiography, and endoscopy for canine diseases and disorders have made canine practice highly complex. Thus, this course aims to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills for modern small animal practice, including control and prevention of canine diseases and disorders. C.

Course credit: 3 units 6. Number of hours: 5 hours a week (2 class, 3 lab) 7. Course goal: For the student to apply acupuncture in the management of diseases and disorders of animals. B. Rationale At present, there is an increasing demand for more natural therapies with less side effects. With the proliferation of various complementary and alternative therapies for animals, veterinarians who have been trained only in conventional therapies are faced with the prospect of limited resources to treat various diseases and disorders. Acupuncture, which has been accepted as a therapeutic modality in animals in many countries throughout the world, including the United States, Belgium, Finland, Australia, Japan, South Korea and China, has found limited application in the Philippines primarily due to lack of training of veterinarians. This course will hope to provide practicing veterinarians with a natural therapeutic procedure for treatment of diseases and disorders which are not amenable to conventional therapies. C. Course Outline 1. Specific Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: a. Discuss the principles of veterinary acupuncture; b. Identify acupuncture points and meridians in domestic animals; c. Perform different methods of acupuncture stimulation; d. Apply acupuncture for producing analgesia for surgical procedures; e.

Course Description: Application of diagnostic ultrasound for reproduction in animals 4. Prerequisite: VSUR 154 or COI 5. Semesters offered: 2nd semester 5. Course credit: 3 units 6. Number of hours: 5 hours a week (2 class, 3 lab) 7. Course goal: For the student to apply ultrasonography in the diagnosis of pregnancy and reproductive diseases and disorders of animals. B. Rationale In the Philippines, examination of animals for pregnancy and reproductive disorders has traditionally relied on rectal palpation in large animals and abdominal examination and radiography in small animals, supplemented with laboratory examinations. However, in other countries, diagnostic ultrasound or ultrasonography has already been widely used as a tool for examination of pregnancy and diagnosis of diseases and disorders of the reproductive organs. With the popularity of low-cost ultrasound equipment, veterinarians are now becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of ultrasonography in disease diagnosis. In the Philippines, however, very few veterinarians are equipped with both the knowledge and skills in pregnancy diagnosis and examination of reproductive disorders using ultrasonography. The course aims to equip the students on the applications of ultrasonography for early detection of pregnancy and evaluation of diseases and disorders of reproductive organs in animals. C. Course Outline 1. Specific Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: g. Discuss the ultrasound features of reproductive organs in animals; h. Apply ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis in animals; and i. Interpret ultrasonograms for diagnosis of reproductive diseases and disorders of animals. 2. Course Content: Lecture Topics 2.

IDENTIFYING AND DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION A. Course Catalogue Description 1. Course number: VDIM 352 2. Course Title: Veterinary Echocardiography 3. Course Description: Application of diagnostic ultrasound for cardiovascular diseases and disorders of animals 4. Prerequisite: VSUR 154 or COI 5. Semesters offered: 2nd semester 5. Course credit: 3 units 6. Number of hours: 5 hours a week (2 class, 3 lab) 7. Course goal: For the student to apply ultrasonography in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and disorders of animals. B. Rationale Diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and disorders of animals has always posed difficulty for veterinarians. Reliance upon history, clinical signs, laboratory examinations and even radiography has often led to incorrect diagnosis. Many of these cardiovascular disorders are diagnosed during necropsy. Recently, however, the use of diagnostic ultrasound for examination of the heart and vessels, i.e. echocardiography, has become popular because of ultrasonography’s ability to characterize internal architecture of the heart and blood vessels. Currently, no veterinary school in the Philippines has been offering a course in echocardiography. This course, therefore, aims to equip the students on the application of ultrasonography for diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and disorders in animals. C. Course Outline 1. Specific Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: j. Discuss B-mode and M-mode echocardiographic procedures. k. Describe the ultrasound features of the heart and surrounding blood vessels in animals; l. Apply ultrasonography for examination and measurement of the heart and surrounding blood vessels in animals; and m. Interpret ultrasonograms for diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and disorders of animals. 2. Course Content: Lecture Topics 1. Equipment and guidelines for echocardiography 1.1.
