        Please note that these are indicative modules and may be subject
        to change.
        Teaching is organised in ‘strands’. These strands are visited
        on multiple occasions, initially focusing on the normal animal,
        and progressing through diseases of different systems, their
        investigation and treatment. There are also non-system strands
        that focus on the underpinning science, professionalism and
        diseases in groups of animals and their impact on public health.

        Please see page 57 for a full list of strands and clinical rotations
        making up the basis of the teaching for all years of study.
