Learning unit contents
Semiology is the science studying symptoms of disease. First, information about how to communicate is given. In the course of general semiology, principal symptoms (whatever the species) and the classes of symptoms are defined and illusrated by numerous examples. The methods for collecting these symptoms in the clinical setting are also presented. A part of the teaching will also cover the history and the way of taking the history. Components of the clinical examination will be detailed. Different types of prognosis, diagnosis and treatment will be reviewed. History, collection of symptoms and their interpretation will be detailed in the dog and the cat for the cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological and gastrointestinal systems. Numerous examples will illustrate this part of the course (pictures and videos). In this course, the propedeutic methods specific to the equine species will be developed. It will include 5 chapters: general semiology and semiology of the digestive system , semiology of the respiratory system , semiology of the cardio-vascular system , semiology of the nervous system, and propedeutics of the locomotor system .
Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
There are 5 sessions of practical course lasting 1h30 each. The presence of the students to these sessions is compulsory. Students who miss a practical session have to contact on the same day Emilie Rondia (erondia@uliege) (for practical sessions in small animals) or Yves Doyen (yves.doyen@uliege.be) (for practical sessions in horses). Each practical session that has been missed must be regained by the student . In the case of unjustified absence or delay, the student may be prevented to present the examination 'semiology of companion animals and horses'. Evaluation of the work of the student at the practical sessions will be a global appreciation of the participation of the student (motivation, behavious, knowledge). This appreciation will allow a modulation of the note obtained during the written examination of the course of semiology.
