Veterinary Science 2 challenges students to use advanced technologies and medical treatments to maintain the health of animals. The animal health industry continues to grow in importance and prominence as more people purchase animals for pleasure and sustenance. This course addresses standard principles of veterinarian medicine and includes new methods of treatment that will be used as we move into the 21st century.
This course builds on topics introduced in Veterinary Science 1, including veterinary terminology, safety, sanitation, anatomy/physiology, clinical exams, hospital procedures, parasitology, posology, laboratory techniques, nutrition, disease, office management, and animal management. Careers are also explored. Leadership development will be provided through FFA. Each student will be expected to have an agricultural experience program. This course may be repeated for up to 20 credits.
