Abstract: Veterinary Internal Medicine is one of the main courses of the veterinary medicine discipline. Mastering the theory of Veterinary Internal Medicine and solving clinical problems using the learned knowledge has high requirements for undergraduates' theoretical knowledge and practical ability. Encouraging undergraduates to master the learning methods on Veterinary Internal Medicine and acquire clinical diagnosis and treatment ability in limited classroom teaching content is currently the exploratory focus for veterinary medicine teaching staff in China. The traditional teacher-led teaching model is no longer sufficient to meet the growth and update of theory and technology in Veterinary Internal Medicine. The case-based teaching method aims to improve undergraduates' learning interest and cultivate their ability to think independently, analyze problems and solve problems,which is one of the directions for veterinary education reform. Based on the experience of teaching this course, the application of case-based teaching method in theoretical and practical teaching of Veterinary Internal Medicine is expounded, in hoping to provide a reference for improving the teaching quality of this course.

Key words: Veterinary Internal Medicine, clinical practice, case-based teaching method, teaching reform
