Compulsory completion of the timetable according to the schedule of students in day, afternoon and night services, as well as mastering the mandatory practical tasks under the control of the veterinarian on duty. In order to award credit, students are given topics to process and subsequently submit to the Moodle system.

Part of surgery/reproduction/infectious and parasitic diseases: Students are involved in clinical practise under the supervision of a veterinarian on duty with regard to the basics of clinical examination of new patients, setting up targeted therapy and monitoring its progress, sedation and introduction to anaesthesia, surgical intervention, provision of post-operative care and hospitalisation of the patient. Furthermore, students are present during patient stabilisation - ensuring intravenous access, taking venous blood for laboratory tests, administration of infusion therapy, USG and X-ray diagnostics, endoscopic examination, as well as writing prescriptions and providing information during consultation for the patient's owner. The aim is the application of theoretical knowledge in clinical practise under the supervision of the teacher to acquire skills in communication with the owner of the patient, diagnostics, setting the steps of therapy and caring for hospitalised animals. Part of the complexity of clinical practise is the mastery of minor surgical procedures. In the case of infectious diseases, the student will learn the approaches and procedures for suspected infectious diseases, the administration of the keeping of companion animals from the point of view of national and international ownership, methods of sampling and processing of samples for parasitic diseases in clinical practice.

part surgery:

studen receive practice in communication with client, technique of clinical examination in focus on surgical patient and conected skill (anaesthesia, surgery, and related possible complications)

part reproduction:

prctical skill about elective and therapeutical surgical procedures in focus on reproduction

Clinical examination of the surgical patient with regard to the diagnosis and subsequent treatment proposal for diseases of hard and soft structures from the point of view of surgical intervention.

Mastering intravenous access, sedation administration, and anaesthesia introduction while mastering simple surgical procedures is a must. In the case of infectious and parasitic diseases, the clinical practise is focused on preventive and therapeutic interventions related to the prevention and suppression of infectious diseases, work in the field, laboratory and administrative work connected with the central register of companion animals.
