Veterinary Medical Specialization: Bridging Science and Medicine : Bridging Science and Medicine

Recent trends toward specialization in veterinary medicine parallel similar trends in the practice of human medicine. W. Jean Dodds, the new editor of Advances in Veterinary Science and Comparative Medicine , has brought together recognized authorities to integrate the legal and ethical implications generated by the issue of specialization. Routine and specialized veterinary practices, including genetic screening, are now associated with clinical trials. This book establishes the links between specialization in the veterinary sciences and the factors that influence the use of animals in basic science and medicine. Integrating both the legal and ethical implications of specialization, this text establishes the links between specialization in the veterinary sciences and the factors that influence the use of animals in basic science and medicine. During the past century, advances in medical knowledge have contributed not only to basic science but also to clinical medicine.
