🏅 Taught by a September 2023 Outschool-Awarded Rising Star, Popular Badged teacher, this class was the first short-course camp turned asynchronous of it's kind on Outschool. 🏅 

In this 4-week flex course on veterinary medicine, I offer an immersive journey into the fascinating world of vet care. While there are no live video classes, I provide a comprehensive general introduction the life and culture of veterinary professionals. 

With almost two decades of experience in the veterinary field, including a university degree and then a shift toward animal education and advocacy in 2014, I've designed this course specifically for students who have no prior hands-on experience. It serves as a detailed foundation to prepare them for the excitement and challenges of veterinary medicine.

I urge you to explore our course syllabus, outlined day by day below. Please note that we don't focus on the mere memorization of body parts and vitals. Instead, our holistic approach examines various facets of veterinary medicine. We aim to nurture critical thinking and lifelong curiosity, encouraging students to hypothesize, synthesize, and theorize.

My goal is to provide students with pre-recorded exciting video instruction that ignites their curiosity and aids in their personal development. I offer visual aids and professional video demonstrations of practical skills. In addition, I encourage student interaction and discussion where I can provide supplemental videos and articles tailored to each student's interests within the classroom. Weekly study questions and discussion topics are posted weekly. Moreover, students have the opportunity to make their own diagnoses, although it's essential to clarify that we do not diagnose student pets or real animals per OS Policies and US Federal Law.


Our course emphasizes student-to-student and teacher-to-student interaction, including:
♦ Discussion questions on the message board
♦ Personal reflection and discussion
♦ Interactive games like "this or that" and "choices in medicine"
♦ An engaging x-ray diagnosis game
♦ Real-life video examples


There is no required knowledge coming into the course, however this course serves as a steppingstone into additional next classes students are eligible to complete. Student passions shape the direction of this course because I believe in your success today and in the future. I am dedicated to fostering a learning environment that encourages growth and exploration.
