Clinical Skills III

Catalog description

This course engages students in the application and integration of knowledge acquired across the DVM program. Using deliberate practice and feedback, the course involves continued development of manual dexterity, safe handling and restraint and physical exam of common domestic animals (canine, feline, equine, bovine and ovine/caprine), with an emphasis on identifying and documenting abnormal findings. Students will develop basic skills in needle and syringe handling, medication administration, and venipuncture. Students will also have immersive observational experiences in clinical practice to better understand the skills they learn within the context of clinical practice.
