⭐ As a Star and Popular-badged teacher (awarded in 2023), I am so excited to welcome veterinarian-interested learners to this veterinary medicine surgery class! ▶ I decided to create this class like no other! ▶ Custom-designed curriculum to attract both older pretend-play lovers and fact-based leaners to come together in the same classroom! 🏅 Taught by a credentialed Animal Scientist teacher (diploma received from NC State University) with 20+ years in the veterinary industry, your instructor is not a veterinary doctorate surgeon.🏅 🌟 To comply with federal US Law, there are no real-animal diagnoses or treatments 🌟 To comply with federal US Law, a teacher will always recommend students take their own pets to a licensed veterinarian where they live. 🟢 Class Structure: - There may be some variation week to week. 1. Students are introduced to a hypothetical patient. 2. Students provide feedback and pretend-play diagnosis through discussion. 3. Students make decisions about treatment for that diagnosis. 4. Teacher gives a short lesson on injury, disease, or treatment. 5. Teacher will host a discussion about the possible surgical treatment. ❗ This course is intended to give teacup-sized bits of knowledge. ❗ - This material is heavy with lots of critical thinking of a higher degree. - Some students choose to listen as a lecture. That is fine. - To listen as a lecture, no prior courses are required. - To get the most out of the lesson, with interaction, prior courses are suggested. 🖐 A few things to note! 🖐 - Learners can join us at any time and not be behind. - Please check the parental guidance section. - Students in vet tech/nurse and vet school learn all topics including surgery. - Important to note, class is meant to be interactive. - Learners aren't REQUIRED to participate & do not require a second device. - Per Outschool approval recommendations, I want to ensure students focus on decision-making skills and voicing opinions rather than the fine details of correct surgical procedure. Students will not leave this class knowing how to perform surgery and should never try. These are things a veterinarian MIGHT do at some point after years of training (and this will be stated at the start of every class). ✨ Outschool and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) are very specific about guidelines and rules for diagnosing, treating, and prescribing. I am not a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and I do not practice medicine. For students who inquire about real animals and pets they own, I recommend visiting a local vet. Students will not be diagnosing, treating, or prescribing medications any real animals. ✨ Current Topics and Weeks Include: Week of 12/29/24: Dehorning Week of 1/5/25: Lateral Ear Resection Week of 1/12/25: Enucleation Week of 1/19/25: Uroliths in Small Ruminants Week of 1/26/25: Stringhalt Week of 2/2/25: Suture Materials Week of 2/9/25: Spay (Reproductive) Week of 2/16/25: Pyometra (Reproductive) Week of 2/23/25: Standing Equine Laparoscopic Ovariectomy (Reproductive) Week of 3/2/25: Subsolar Abscess Week of 3/9/25: THO in Horses (Temporohyoid Osteoarthropathy) Week of 3/16/25: Kissing Spine Week of 3/23/25: Sinusitis in Horses Week of 3/30/25: Tumor Removal in Rats Week of 4/6/25: Linear Foreign Body Removal Week of 4/13/25: Struvite Stones (mainly in cats) Week of 4/20/25: Week of 4/27/25: Week of 5/4/25: Tracheostomy Week of 5/11/25: Canine Open Heart Surgery (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) Week of 5/18/25: Week of 5/25/25: Laryngeal Hemiplegia in Horses Week of 6/1/25: Cattle Cesarian Week of 6/8/25: Fractures in Horses Week of 6/15/25: OCD in Horses Week of 6/22/25: Week of 6/29/25: Uroliths in Small Ruminants Week of 7/6/25: Atlantoaxial Instability Week of 7/13/25: Displaced Abomasum Week of 7/20/25: Laminitis Week of 7/27/25: Tumor Removal in Rats Week of 8/3/25: Week of 8/10/25: Canine Hip Dysplasia Week of 8/17/25: Patent Urachus in Foals Week of 8/24/25: Week of 8/31/25: Week of 9/7/25: Spays (Reproductive) Week of 9/14/25: Pyometra (Reproductive) Week of 9/21/25: Standing Equine Laparoscopic Ovariectomy (Reproductive) Week of 9/28/25: Suture Materials Week of 10/5/25: Megacolon Week of 10/12/25: Subsolar Abscess Week of 10/19/25: Week of 10/26/25: Laryngeal Hemiplegia in Horses Week of 11/2/25: Week of 11/9/25: Diaphragmatic Hernia Week of 11/16/25: Limb Amputation Week of 11/23/25: THO in Horses (Temporohyoid Osteoarthropathy) Week of 11/30/25: Week of 12/7/25: Dehorning Week of 12/14/25: Lateral Ear Resection Week of 12/21/25: Enucleation Week of 12/28/25: Stringhalt ** Blanks are simply spaces for new classes/student suggestions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
1 teacher has a Bachelor's degree
Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University
I am an Animal Scientist who graduated from NC State in 2010 with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science Pre-Vet. When I completed schooling, I left with a, Ag. Buisness minor and an additional concentration in Equine Anatomy and Physiology of the Performance Horse. I completed additional coursework in Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and individual classes at U.C. Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine distance education in Equine Industry, Exercise Physiology, and Equine Welfare and Management.
I have worked at N.C. State University (which also has a veterinary science doctorate program) in the undergraduate university in Anatomy and Physiology as well as Equine Science.
I worked in veterinary medicine and animal science including various clinics and farms for 20 years.
I am ready and prepared for this course.
