| Course Description: | |
| Veterinary Science is a course designed to provide
students an applied scientific study in the area of
animals and veterinary care with a focus on labratory
science skills. This course focuses on the application of
animal anatomical and physiological knowledge to the
maintenance and improvement of animal health to
include: clinical diagnosis of disease and parasites,
administration of medications, and common surgical
procedures. Biological applications will include studies
in cells, genetics, body systems, evolution, and ecology
as they pertain to the animal/veterinary field. Each unit
includes a clinical practice component to put the
knowledge learned into a real veterinary clinical
situation. Additional emphasis will be placed on industry
practices to include office procedures, public relations
and communications, laboratory skills. Students work
alongside community organizations and business
partners to assure that the highest level of industry
standard expectations are maintained. This course is aligned to Next Generation Science Standards as well as Agriscience Pathway Standards and Animal Science Pathway Standards. | |
