Beginner - Intermediate Level
This course is an introduction to equine / horse veterinary care. This course will provide a basic understanding of some of the ways that an equine veterinarian cares for horses, both to keep them healthy, and also to help them if they are sick or injured. This course is discussion based, and we encourage learners to share or ask questions. This course does not provide veterinary advice or diagnostics. If you have questions about your horse, please consult your veterinarian. *** If there is no course scheduled at a time that works for you, we do have a self-paced version that you might enjoy! *** After this Introductory course learners may choose to continue these topics in Advanced Equine Veterinary Science courses where we will continue to explore additional topics deeper, such as radiology (X-Ray), and begin to learn about how a vet may do surgery, dentistry and more. *** IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER - These courses are an overview of an equine veterinarian’s job. The teacher will not be providing any medical advice. If you have a specific question about your own animal, please contact your veterinarian.
Learning Goals
Learners will begin to develop their understanding of equine veterinary topics and how they inform the decisions a veterinarian makes when advising their clients.
Learners will develop their critical thinking skills as they participate and discussion on these medical topics.

I have been a certified veterinary technician for 30+ years, and a horse owner for longer. I have experience working with horses both professionally and personally and I love sharing my knowledge with learners who love horses too!
Along with my experience as a technician, I am also teach in an equine studies program at a local university. I am currently developing a new equine veterinary assistant program there and have taught in several veterinary assistant programs around my state.
I have a MEd from Colorado State University and and I am now finishing up my second Master’s program and a Master of Veterinary Education (MVEd) from Lincoln Memorial University’s School of Veterinary Medicine.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with your horse enthusiasts and future veterinary professionals!
