We were thrilled to welcome 9th and 10th grade students from Ranney High School for an exciting day of veterinary medicine exploration! Leading the way in VETucation! ✨
Students gained hands-on experience learning how to place tertiary bandages, practice taking TPRs, use stethoscopes, and discuss proper patient handling, restraint techniques, and patient safety monitoring. They also had the opportunity to bandage model animals and learn the importance of veterinary nursing skills.
One of the highlights of the day was interacting with exotic animals featuring tortoises, a snake, a bearded dragon, a ferret, a cat, and puppies! Students learned about species-specific anatomy, behavior, husbandry, handling considerations, and veterinary care while engaging directly with the animals.
Our team also shared their career journeys, discussed educational pathways and workplace realities in veterinary medicine, and answered thoughtful student questions about the profession.
Thank you to the students and faculty from Ranney for your enthusiasm and curiosity. We loved sharing our passion for animal care and helping inspire the next generation of veterinary professionals! 🐾
