This course builds on the basics of One Health II by applying evidence-based veterinary medicine in understanding clinical research in infectious disease management. The understanding of the application of evidence-based veterinary medicine is used throughout the working life of veterinarians in contemporary veterinary practices. Basic training in research methodology will be covered to learn clinical study processes and how new scientific evidence is discovered. These skills will be applied to investigating an infectious disease spread within and between populations utilizing mock case studies by appraising scientific evidence about the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitological diseases.
