April 24th and April 25th Vet Science Open House - Proposed Schedule

Friday Evening: We are confirmed to attend the Friday evening Lesson on  Anatomy and Physiology of Animals .   I expect an email Monday detailing the location.   Time:  6:30 pm to 10 pm.

 

Reading Assignment:

Please find some time this week to read Chapter IV, Section 1 in preparation for this class.   Please complete the homework at the end of this section as well.   (good activity while driving to College Station)  This information is the building block for our studies.   There is a lot of information to be learned, and we are very fortunate to receive instruction from what I understand to be one of the better teachers at A&M.  Please do your pre-study.   The better background you have, the more you will get from this class.

 

Saturday Schedule:  Below is my suggestion as to a schedule for Saturday.   For the lectures indicated, we need to sign up for these sessions 1st thing Saturday morning as space is limited and it is 1st come 1st served:

Lecture:

 9am:    Choice One  Lecture:  A Day in the Life of Zoo Medicine with Dr. Hoppes
            Choice Two  Lecture:  A Day in the Life of Emergency Medicine with Dr. Smith


10am: Guided Tour Small Animal Clinic The Small Animal Clinic will be giving guided tours from 9am to 4pm. There will be 10-12 people per tour group, and tours will start every five minutes. The entire tour will take approximately an hour, and there are no signups needed.    Included on the tour:

    • Zoology Medicine
    • Feline Medicine
    • Cardiology
    • Endoscopy
    • Live Spay and Neuter
    • Internal Medicine
    • Dentistry

Lunchtime:  During this time we can tour the Pathology Exhibits (cool things like a two-headed calf and you get to hold a horse heart), and if time allows, take the self guided tour of the Large Animal Hospital

1pm:     Vet Student Q&A and
            Choice One Lecture:  A Day in the Life of Large Animal Medicine with Dr. Washburn
