FF provides much of the foundational content necessary to distinguish between normal and abnormal conditions. Unit blocks are organized around a systems model that guides parallel content in Animal Health and Disease (AHD). The nature of the material naturally lends this Thread a heavy footprint in the first two pre-clinical years, with a smaller portion of refresher content in the third year before going into clinics.
