Abstract: Veterinary Diagnostics is a professional basic course with strong practicality for the undergraduates majoring in veterinary medicine. It not only contains a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but also covers many operational skills on clinical diagnostics, laboratory diagnostics and radiology diagnostics. In order to strengthen the undergraduates' practical ability in clinical diagnosis and to cultivate more excellent talents in veterinary medicine, in view of the current status and problems of theoretical and experimental teaching of Veterinary Diagnostics, we improved and adjusted the teaching syllabus of this course. Furthermore, the implementation and application efficacy of integrating theoretical teaching with clinical cases and guiding experimental teaching with scientific researches in Veterinary Diagnostics was discussed.

Key words: Veterinary Diagnostics, case-based teaching, teaching reform
