According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the veterinary field is expected to grow by 18% between now and 2028. This is much higher than averages of other professions. There is a critical need for research veterinarians as well as in other fields of animal science. Veterinary medicine is changing. But one thing remains the same: from young kids to high school teens, there's a lot of interest in becoming a veterinarian, assistant, zookeeper, or wildlife conservationist. From cute dolphins to scruffy wolves to coyotes, leopards, and scorpions... animals really capture the hearts of learners all over the world. This class is not "fluff." This class is an in-depth look at veterinary medicine, filled to the brim with not only how vet medicine works, but why certain topics are important. This was the very first asynchronous course of its kind on Outschool. If you would like the introductory course check the bottom of this description. Examples of interactive portions of class: grid logic problems similar to escape rooms, coded answer leave-class tickets similar to escape rooms, quizzes, breakout rooms (if there are enough students) for students to discuss ethical or logical deduction problems, or group work on printable provided to students prior to class in the classroom.

Each week, I will list the individual learning outcomes and student goals in the classroom for the week.
Goals from each class will be:
- Students will be able to explain to a peer an applicable skill or information set used in a veterinary setting
- Students will understand the importance of team work in the veterinary setting
