| University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, IL Description of Elective Experience: U of I Dermatology Rotation Diseases affecting the skin and ears are visible to owners and a common source of distress for animals and their owners. Indeed, skin and ear diseases are the most common reasons for pet owners to seek veterinary care. Because many skin diseases have similar clinical appearances it is important to develop a systematic approach to dermatology cases. The emphasis on this rotation is primary level care of dermatology patients—teaching rounds focus on topical therapy, management of allergies (food and environmental), ectoparasites, bacterial skin infections, dermatophyte infections (including zoonotic concerns), immune‐mediated skin diseases, and diseases of the ear. Students are actively involved in performing basic diagnostic procedures including cytology, skin scrapings and skin biopsies. Principles of treatment and the importance of client education are discussed in detail. The majority of cases are outpatients. Cases are received Monday‐Friday. Year 3‐4 veterinary students are involved in all aspects of case management including history taking, physical examinations, discussions of differential diagnosis, diagnostic procedures, discussions of treatment options and writing of discharge instructions.
