** Please note: if there is no section of this class scheduled, or one that fits your schedule and your learner has taken the Advanced Vet 1, you may enroll them in any Advanced Vet class 2-6. They do not need to be taken in order, they are only different topics. *** There are also self-paced options of Advanced Vet 2-5 classes! This course will explore topics in veterinary science related to the veterinary laboratory and small animal surgery. In class PowerPoints and discussions will be supplemented with some in class and outside of class projects and videos. Learners should have taken my Introduction to Veterinary Medicine class or have some basic knowledge of veterinary science. Taking Advanced Vet 1 prior to this course is strongly recommended, but not required. Miss Denise’s Teaching Style: My teaching style is caring and relaxed. I am passionate about sharing veterinary science with learners of all abilities from all over the world! I am happy to provide additional support if needed. I am excited to help learners reach their goal to work with animals or to become a veterinary assistant, technician, or veterinarian! My mission is to share my experience and love for animals and veterinary medicine with others! I am excited to help your learner reach their goals! Please message me if you have any questions. I sincerely look forward to working with your learner! This class is not teaching medical advice and students are not qualified or encouraged to practice on live animals.
