Veterinary Science II (Location: PIC)

Veterinary Science II students will build upon the introductory skills learned in Veterinary Science I. Students will investigate the care of animals through the process of case studies that focus on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and injuries of animals. This process will take students from patient intake, through systems research and diagnosis, to the development of treatment plans and follow-up, and finally preparing patient billing and client communication. Course topics include anatomy and physiology, nutrition, disease prevention, reproduction and genetics, the ethics of animal care and animal husbandry, veterinary skills, veterinary careers and other areas of study as appropriate.
