University of Saint Francis Fort Wayne Sciences

Pre-vet student, Breonna, had a great experience at Troy's Horseshoe Clinic. She learned about the process of trimming the hooves and also dissected a horse leg. Since the horse shoeing process requires nails, one needs to be knowledgeable of the lower limb anatomy especially the exact location of bones, ligaments, and nerves.

Welcome to super senior Sunday!! Our super senior today is Carter!!

Welcome to fabulous freshman Friday. Today’s fabulous freshman is Hudson!!

Over the weekend, several students and Dr. Obringer travelled to IU-Bloomington to participate in the "Service of Gratitude" program which gave us the opportunity to thank the families of recent anatomical donors. We were able to let the families know how important anatomical donation is to our education and how this final act of service to others will not be forgotten. Ella , Sonya, and Grant distributed flowers to the family. Katie provided the piano accompaniment for the program.

Huge congratulations to Kellyn for making history in the University of Saint Francis science program with a school record MCAT score of 526. This places her in the 100th percentile! As a junior pre-med biology major, Kellyn continues to set the standard for excellence, dedication, and hard work. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and cannot wait to see her become an amazing physician one day. The future is bright!

Pre-Vet student, Breonna, has been busy. She recently attended the Indiana Animal Welfare Conference in Indianapolis and reconnected with the Director of the Indiana Board of Animal Health. She also completed training at Purdue Univ AND passed the test to be recognized as an Indiana State Poultry Association NPIP blood tester. She can now test exhibition birds and flocks for Salmonella Pullorum-Typhoid.
