AVC Seminar Series Presentation
Event Date:
Thursday, January 17, 2013, 3:00 pm
The next seminar in the series being presented at AVC for 2012-2013 will be held on Thursday, January 17th at 3:00 pm in rooms 286B & 286C N in the McCain Foundation Learning Commons.
Dr. Trina Bailey, Assistant Professor in the Department of Companion Animals, AVC will present "How to Train Your Dragon (oops surgeon) - Observations from a Novice."
Training DVM students in surgical skills is a challenge. This presentation will outline the present small animal surgical training program, and how is has been changed from the previous program. The presentation will outline ideas such as outcomes assessment, new laboratory modules and new clinical techniques in the VTH which have helped improve surgical training at the AVC. We will also discuss the differences between training DVM students, interns and residents in veterinary surgical skills and how the combination of training programs appear to benefit each other, as well as the faculty involved in delivering the training.
