Beginner Level
This Introduction to Veterinary Science class offers a comprehensive exploration of animal health and veterinary careers, covering anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ethical considerations. Each session blends review, new concept introductions using diverse methods like visual aids and hands-on activities, and interactive discussions. Students actively participate in group discussions, hands-on simulations, and Q&A sessions, receiving personalized feedback. My teaching style is interactive and student-centered, fostering a supportive environment for exploration and learning. We utilize slides, diagrams, anatomical models, video clips, case studies, games, and simulations to reinforce concepts. Practical skills like simulated exams and animal handling are emphasized. Students will learn about common animal diseases, preventative care, and basic veterinary procedures. Throughout the course, we focus on responsible pet ownership and the importance of the human-animal bond, ensuring a well-rounded introduction to the veterinary field.
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
y passion for veterinary science is rooted in both academic study and hands-on experience. I hold an undergraduate degree with a strong focus in animal science, providing me with a solid foundation in animal biology, behavior, and care. Complementing my academic background, I spent three years working as a veterinary technician in a veterinary hospital in Pennsylvania, where I gained invaluable practical experience in animal handling, medical procedures, and client communication. This experience allowed me to directly apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios, working with a diverse range of animals and medical cases. I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and experience with students, fostering their interest in veterinary science and animal welfare.
