One thing is certain: kids, adolescents, teens, and adults love animals! There is so much interest in children growing up to secure animal-professional positions like veterinarians, veterinary technicians, assistants, zookeepers, animal trainers, kennel owners, and wildlife conservationists. I am here to help make education in these topics accessible all over the globe. I want to be clear we will not diagnose, treat, or prescribe any real animals.

While veterinary medicine is continually changing, it is important to remember that 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. From cute dolphins to scruffy wolves to coyotes, leopards, and scorpions... animals really capture the hearts of learners all over the world.

⭐ Taught by both a Popular and Star OS-Awarded teacher, this class is not "fluff." This class is an in-depth look at veterinary medicine, filled to the brim with skills and information about veterinary staff, nursing, skills, and topics. I use screen share, demonstrations, video, sketches, and diagrams in a conversation-lecture style class with room for discussion and question. ⭐ 

There is no required courses before this one, although it is more detailed than the link here. Learners are invited to join any week. Many learners use this course to follow up the Veterinary 18-week course but it is not required if you want to take this one first or both together.
