Second-year PPVM students recently completed their first surgery lab, where they learned how to properly fold surgical gowns, identify instruments, and prepare surgical packs for autoclaving. Attention to these details is an important part of maintaining sterility and promoting patient safety in the operating room.

Next week, students will open the packs they prepared and practice maintaining sterility as they continue building their surgical skills throughout the semester.

Last week, our newest veterinary students officially began their journey as the Class of 2030! 🐾🎓

First-year students completed orientation, learning about school policies and schedules, touring facilities, and getting acquainted with their new home at PPVM. They also participated in fun ice breakers and activities designed to help them get to know their classmates and start building their veterinary community.

We are so excited to welcome you, Class of 2030! We can’t wait to see all that you accomplish. 💙🐾
