In this 4-day multi-course, students who dream of vet school learn all about the veterinary life and culture of the veterinary world. This course is suitable for students pursuing any animal/veterinary career: doctors, specialists, veterinary technicians, assistants, groomers (although grooming itself isn't discussed), reception, management. After working in the Veterinary space since 2004 and moving towards education and advocacy of animals in 2014, I have created this course for students to prepare for the next huge task of their lives: the work of veterinary medicine. I ask you to carefully consider the course syllabus listed day by day below. We do not cover the memorization of body parts and vitals. Rather, I will take your child on a holistic journey of the veterinary industry examining many fields of veterinary medicine. I am creating a platform where critical thinking and lifelong curiosity is able to emerge and flourish, and ultimately challenging your children to hypothesize, synthesize, and theorize. I provide visuals and various professional video demonstrations of practical skills. There is no required knowledge coming into the course. Please share your passions, favorite animals, and goals. There will be opportunities! This is a great introduction course, but it is different than my other courses and I'm proud to say I've never had a student tell me the feel like they wasted their time and learned nothing! I try to meet students where they already are!

Other Details
Parental Guidance
There are no inappropriate topics. Some students may find interest in reproductive interests though and animal reproduction is a big topic in the field. These conversations will be strictly centered to breeding of animals and identified, factual based research. Other students may find an interest in surgeries or other injury situations. Topics will be addressed as supplemental only. Please message me if you have concerns so that we may discuss a solution for your child.
