Clinical veterinary medicine is a discipline mainly about diagnoses approach and theory of the livestock and poultry. It’s an important basic course in the major of veterinary medicine, bridging the basic courses and major courses. As an introductory course in animal clinic, it plays a very important role in the clinic veterinary medicine major. The teaching aim of this course is to equip the students with common methods, basic theory, basic knowledge, and basic technique of the clinic animal diagnoses and treatment, so that they can find and recognize the ordinary features and symptoms of different animal diseases, and give correct judgement and treatment according to their integrative and precise analyses.

The main curriculum of the Graduate Institute of Veterinary Pathology is designed with the aim to educate students to study in the field of animal diseases. Based upon the pathology and modern fields of cellular pathology, immunopathology, molecular and toxic pathology, as well as molecular biology, graduate students can further understand the pathogenesis of diseases and improve their diagnosis techniques for the purposes of disease control, prevention and public health. In addition, our principle is also training veterinary students to become veterinary pathologists and improving their research activities. The following categories summarize the goals of the Institute:

To improve veterinarians in diseases diagnosis

To study on the important epidemic disease, with emphasis on the field of immunology and molecular pathology

To use animal models to study diseases among humans and animals, with emphasis on comparative pathology, immunopathology and oncology
To study on the diseases of aquatic animals
To study on wild animal diseases
To improve services for clinical veterinarians on the field of small animal clinics and surgical pathology

To study on the reproductive pathology of farmed animals in an effort to treat reproductive disorders and promote efficiency in production

To emphasize the research on toxicology for reducing environmental destruction and waste of natural resources

The main curriculum of the Graduate Institute of Veterinary Microbiology is designed to prepare the graduates for a career in research and teaching in veterinary microbiology, with special emphasis on applied microbiology, molecular biology, pathogenesis of microorganisms and biotechnology. The main goal of the Institute is to improve the quality of the diagnostic techniques and quarantine for the purposes of disease control, prevention, and public health due to emerging complexity of diseases and the importance of zoonotic as well as tropical animal diseases.

History:

Founded in 1994, this graduate institute has provided M. S. program ever since. All teaching faculty are well qualified with Ph. D. degree. A highly competitive entrance exam is held out each year for a growing number of students who take interests in the enrollment. Currently, this institute houses 24 M. S. students who came from a broad varieties of B. S. training backgrounds encompassing veterinary, agricultural, medical, and life sciences. It is the expectation of this institute that, upon graduation, each student will be strengthened in his/her ability to apply concurrent biological technology in veterinary microbiology. To cope with the trend in the field and to further help out the urgent demand from the national biotechnology industries, we have been preparing for a more intensive and advanced Ph. D. training program. The ministry of education has evaulated the graduate institute and approved for our initiation of Ph. D. training program in the year of 2001.

Course and Research:

This institute is the only institute in Taiwan that provides programs for master degree in veterinary microbiology. The courses emphasize not only on the basic and clinical application of biotechnology to veterinary services, but also on basic principle and advanced knowledge of regulation, pathogenecity and immunology of microorganisms. The future goals of this institute are: (1) Application of biotechnology in industry (2) Improvement of diagnostic techniques (3) Study on molecular pathogenecity and immunology of pathogenic organisms. Because biotechnology is the main goal for the development of this institute, other institutes and departments in National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), including those in College of Agriculture, College of Life Science, and College of Science could have collaboration with this institute. Therefore, the teaching and research in the development of biotechnology in NCHU could be integrated.
