Advanced year (A6) in population medicine of cattle and livestock
Teaching objectives for mastering population medicine at the end of A6:
- Acquire autonomy in ruminant population medicine;
- Acquire know-how in the use of tools for collecting and managing farming data and analysing them (big data, precision medicine and breeding…);
- Be familiar with the professional environment in ruminant medicine, understand the part of the veterinarian and master the tools of oral and written communication (collective diagnosis in breeding and monitoring of breeding).

| Take a step back | A structured approach to the farm visit and overall diagnosis, whatever the reason for the call |

Educational aims
1

Approach population medicine in an operational way, for application to clients.
2
Rationalize,

Apprehend the visit of a livestock farm in a functional and structured way: preparation, implementation, assessment and follow-up. Adapt to the constraints of the field.
3
Analyse and understand.
Mobilise tools adapted to the diversity of situations, to structure and analyse data efficiently and to understand clinical situations rationally.
Educational principles
In order to make learning easier and apply notions in a professional environment, the majority of the one-week modules are organised in the following format:
| Applied theoretical training | Clinical case studies | On-site clinical training | Restitution |
| Training focused on the control of health problems: diagnostic approach and behaviour. | In the classroom, based on real cases. | In farms, supervised by the teaching team | Carried out remotely by videoconference, on the case of a client. |
| 1-2 days | 1-2 days | 1-2 days | 1-2 days |
This organisation leads to modules made up of a 3-to-4 day session on the ENVT site, supplemented by a delocalised part under the direct responsibility of the learner.
Validation
In practice, you need six weeks of teaching, the school diploma in cattle population medicine is based on the validation of a minimum of 65 Continuing Education Credits (CFC) linked to the eligible modules of the courses of this school diploma, over a maximum period of 3 years. To validate these credits, two types of modules are eligible:
Core curriculum modules
They must represent a minimum of 40 CFC.
Each of these modules is a diploma in itself (school diploma of the module title). Each one is equivalent to approximately 1 week of training.
OR
The other eligible modules
With a shorter duration, they can be delivered at the ENVT or off-site.
