Intermediate - Advanced Level
Learners will have fun reading veterinary case studies and testing their veterinary knowledge using the “Be the Vet” Book Series (Book 1). This will be the first class in this series with classes on books 2 and 3 following.
Using the “Be the Vet” Book Series book #1, learners will read the case studies (chapters/stories) and follow along with the story of each pet’s visit to the vet. After reading the story, learners will be asked to follow the outline in the book, taking notes on things such as the patient history, the doctor’s assessment, symptoms and injuries and the treatment plan. This will help learners see how a veterinarian works up a case. In class we will discuss everyone’s thoughts on the case, what they learned by reading it, and the teacher will discuss the diseases or medical conditions of the week. Additional YouTube clips may be used in class and videos may also be sent after class for learners to watch later in the week if they have interest in learning more on the topics that week.
Week 1: Introductions and expectations. Review of the systems used by a vet as they approach a case.
Week 2: Chapter 1: Attack
Chapter 2: Toxic
Week 3: Chapter 3: Ouch!
Chapter 4: Thirsty
Week 4: Chapter 5: Leftovers

Learners are expected to come to class having read the stories of the week and be ready to share what they learned.Other Details
