Vet Assist
|
Course Overview:
Students in this class have a love for animals. This course is an inherently honors curriculum meaning essential standards of this course are held to a higher, more challenged level. This course provides instruction for students desiring a career in animal medicine. Topics include proper veterinary practice management and client relations, pharmacy and laboratory procedure, enhancement of animal care learned in previous animal courses, and surgical/radiological procedures. Advanced FFA leadership will be infused throughout the curriculum to develop the student's ability to work with the public. All aspects of this course will have hands-on skill sets that will be enforced with both laboratory and veterinary-related experience working in animal medicine. Applied mathematics, science, writing, and skill sets are integrated throughout the curriculum. Students will not only complete assignments and make regular presentations in class, but will also work at time with a veterinarian. |
