DVM Reproductive Pathology Course Material

At the Ontario Veterinary College, Student Veterinarians in their second year (called Phase 2) take an integrated course called Theriogenology. This course encorporates reproductive anatomy, histology, physiology, endocrinology, pathology and clinical management. Reproductive pathology is incorporated into this and as a reproductive pathologist, I am responsible for 2 components: embryological development and functional anatomy of placentation, Failure of Pregnancy and Clinical Conditions of the male. My lecture notes and presentations are provided here for you.
