George Jenkins Academy of Veterinary Science

8 of our Vet 3 students had an unique field trip with one of our partnering businesses today. Cleveland Heights Animal Hospital opened its doors and welcomed our eager CVA intern hopefuls; sharing their industry experience and skills sets with our group.
Our students began the tour within the clinic’s lodging wing, where short term housing and grooming practices take place. We were soon lead to the medical wing where each of our students were paired off in teams of two, to discuss specific topics with the staff members available.

The topics included, but were not limited to:

🩻Radiology set up, reading x-rays, safety

💊Pharmaceutical sales as a potential career

😷Surgical prep- placement of catheter, usage of anesthesia, dental x-rays, and a dental exam with extractions

❤️Euthanasia practices, client care during this decision, and aftercare of decedent

🦷 Rabies- symptoms, precautions, prevention, and treatment

The tour today was a great success and we look forward to see where our students will go, with this newfound knowledge. Huge thank you to Cleveland Heights and its wonderful staff!!!

It has been a busy week so far in our vet academy as students have begun to take industry certification exams that our program offers. These exams cover various areas including animal science, agricultural production, and veterinary assisting practices. Best of luck to our testers!!!

So I need to distract everyone from Milton.. here is our mock up for this year’s chapter t-shirt! Taking pre-sales until 10/25 at $10/ shirt, but we will have plenty in stock to sell!
Shirt color is sage
Printing is black
If you’d like a shirt let me (Stubbs) know your size and I’ll add it to our order list. 😊

Our first Culver’s night is coming up!
We need member volunteers in official dress to help serve and be apart of our Culver’s night, May 2nd from 6-8pm. The Culver’s on south Florida across from Home Depot is the place to be at! Let Ms. Stubbs know if you’ll be there.

Did you know…

What is this simple green line? This tiny spot could prevent unnecessary surgery in dogs and cats.

Spoiler alert: Spay/neuter tattoos are considered standard of care, and yet they are not consistently taught or modelled in veterinary schools. Clinics that do high volume spay/neuter or take in large numbers of homeless animals with uncertain spay/neuter status are much more likely to use the markings than private practices. Lots of room for more education!
