Course description
This course aims to assist in the transformation from veterinary technology student to practicing veterinary technologist in many fields. Within this subject students must attain a high professional standard in the practice of medical and surgical nursing. This course involves the practical application of skills and knowledge in medicine, surgery, companion animals and fauna. The students will have an 8 week clinical/industry placement where they will actively participate in the daily operations of their chosen placement facility. This placement could take place in any approved veterinary related field, including but not exclusive to: equine practice, biosecurity, biomedical research, diagnostic laboratories, or nutrition. This course is very demanding and requires students to be fully and actively involved in discussions, tutorials and practical classes.
