Challenges


The career of veterinary medicine is facing great challenges in several areas. The study of animals, not only involves knowledge of the health of these, but also know they are a great source of information, help and support.

The technology gives a great contribution to career development, lets us know beyond a simple physical examination, therefore, you should implement advanced methods that allow us to assess how best to our patients. As in the case of wanting to take a radiograph, a brain scan, an ultrasound, etc.. Veterinarians must move into the knowledge of each of the technologies that allow us to move forward and get more accuracy in diagnosis.

In social affairs, profoundly influence the issue of educating people and children on how they should care for the animals, primarily domestic. Although the above does not neglect to instill knowledge in caring for other animals. They should be taught good pet ownership, care must be with them, and so on. All this leads to communicate that having a pet is a responsibility.
In the area of science also have challenges. Should be investigated further each species, each case, each disease. Investment in scientific research is not money lost, allow as doctors, scientists and especially humanity.

Many animals are considered poisonous cure for other diseases, then a big challenge is to continue investigation in the animals which, though dangerous, may have the cure for many diseases.

In the area of human medicine have challenges in providing each of the diseases are zoonotic, ie, diseases transmitted from animals to humans.

In the public health area, many animals serve as therapy for people with physical disabilities or other. We as a challenge to educate and continue to maintain fitness and health, mainly to these animals. For example, animals used in these cases are hippotherapy horses, dogs tenants to blind people, etc..

Veterinary Medicine in a career with many challenges ahead, which will measure progress making way for humanity.

Faculty


As I mentioned earlier, I am a student of the career of Veterinary Medicine, University of Chile. This time I want to talk a little about the situation that exists in the topic of infrastructure or facilities that exist in myfaculty.

The current situation is not bad, have actually been making repairs and improvements of the various departments, mainly in the front. It has also appointed an equestrian center, a small animal hospital, a gymnasium, a boarding house, etc..

In regard to internal facilities such as halls, laboratories and others, is a different issue. The rooms deserve a better sound, allowing us to hear clearly all students each of the classes that are taught. It would be good to implement new microscopes in existing laboratories, to study with greater accuracy and detail samples.

With regard to the faculty buses (but not the facilities, but if part of the faculty) deserve a change and renewal, which give us security in the various field trips that we made all generations.

The computer rooms are well implemented, however, the speed of computers is not the best. The library has good, modern facilities required to enter the TUCH, has computers and a good place to study. The casino also has a good infrastructure.

I would recommend making a general trend that is lacking in the faculty and what priority it deserves to be the best way to grow.

The panda is very special and challenging to reproduce. They are very shy and independent, but the efforts made by scientists have proved successful, thanks to knowledge and hours of state observers, both in their natural habitat and in captivity.
Panda Reproduction is viviparous. Mating takes place in spring and the young are born in late winter. The female gives birth to between one and two cubs, which reach sexual maturity between four and ten years. Panda's behavior is described which are solitary animals except during mating season, spend their lives mostly on the ground, but climb trees on occasion.
