Students will develop the skill ofethical thinking, the correct use of concepts and,terminology, and the skill of correctly interpreting the basiclegal documents related to their profession. Future veterinarysurgeons who have already learned the history of theirprofession, as well as the ethical and legal mechanisms theywould follow in their work, will more easily noticeseemingly small risks, and will be able to counter them inadvance, which will allow them to compete on the freemarket more effectively. Students should know the history,terminology, and basic documents concerning the professionand be able to interpret them correctly. Knowing the basichistoric laws and mechanisms, being able to notice causalrelationships between phenomena and to combine them ingood veterinary practice, future veterinary surgeons willcooperate with animal owners and colleagues in theirmedical teams more easily, and will more effectively andefficiently manage and plan their tasks.Veterinary medicine in ancient timesThe history of animal treatment in the area of PolandThe history of fighting infectious diseases in animalsVeterinary procedures and instrumentsScientific research and veterinary literatureThe history of veterinary educationResearch institutes and veterinary therapeutic productsacross the agesThe organisation of veterinary service in PolandVeterinary professional and research organisationsArmy veterinary serviceVeterinary and sanitary supervision over slaughter, and theturnover and hygiene of products of animal origin.Veterinary ethics and deontology, signs and symbols.An interactive multimedia lecture, educational trips, selfstudy.The evaluation carried out by the person whoconducts classes along with course participants takes into30

During thematic seminars,teachers, and also students themselves, present various, oftenmutually-exclusive approaches to many scientific concepts.Controversial theories are often presented on purpose, andproviding opposing arguments using modern teachingtechniques at the “forum of practitioners” (brainstorming,focus, etc.) teaches students to adopt a critical approach tophenomena.Language of instructionPolishECTSPrerequisites ( sequence of items)Learning outcomes expected andcompetences acquiredEvaluation methodsExamination MethodsPersons involved in theaccomplishment of the objectThe final exam is in the form of a test; two versions ofquestions for students so that they perform their tasksindividually and independently, all students at the sametime.
