Word Of the Head Department of Animal Medicine
Dear Sir or Madam,
Peace be upon you!
On behalf of my colleagues in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tripoli, I welcome you to the department page.
This department is one of the departments of the clinical phase of study at the faculty, and it is an academic; educational and research department. In this department, the student studies infectious and non-infectious diseases in terms of science and techniques related to their diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Therefore, the student becomes able to deal with disease cases at all their stages, starting with conducting the necessary examination to reach a diagnosis, prescribing and administering medication, and following up on cases. The student also becomes capable of dealing with, controlling and preventing outbreaks that affect animal populations.
In terms of scientific research, the academic staff contributes effectively to the research activity, according to the available resources. They seek to benefit from the available research cooperation opportunities. The department’s academics have many research papers published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
All the best,
Prof. Emad Bennour
