--- EMS (extra-mural studies) are an essential element of
undergraduate veterinary education. Students must complete a
minimum of 38 weeks EMS during their course, which should normally
consist of 12 weeks pre-clinical and 26 weeks of clinical
placements, a large portion of which takes place on farms. -- The
highly illustrated approach allows readers to see the highlighted
differences rather than try to imagine what cases look like and
differentiate them from written descriptions. -- A repository of
over 1000 10-second video clips accompanies the book, accessible to
students on the farm with a smart phone. Each clip uniqeuly shows
the animal's clinical presentation, internal disease/imaging and
then healthy recovery -- There are a limited number of common
conditions seen by vets in farm animal practice and an exhaustive
list of all known diseases is not needed: textbooks often include
such diseases for the benefit of an academic reviewer rather than
student and general practitioner readers. -- This concise guide
offers a breath of fresh air among the existing hefty expensive
large animal medicine tomes on the market. --- Some comments from
veterinary students on the proposal: "I firmly believe that this
would be a very useful book and only wish that it existed already
for my clinical EMS"; "There are currently several 'pocket books'
for small animal medicine such as the Mini Vet guide but nothing
for farm animals"; "Using a small animal 'quick', ring-bound,
reference guide on EMS has been extremely useful, and it would be
very beneficial to have a large animal alternative"; "The author's
suggested use of high quality illustrations is what a student
desperately needs. At the end of the day we need to be able to work
out many diseases with similar symptoms - this book would provide
that where may other current textbooks do not. I would support this
new book, and hope it is released before I go into exams in the
future - as it is what I currently need help within revision like
so many other students. It is what the veterinary student dreams of
having, and yet no one has produced it!"
