VetVenture Inspires 30 Future Animal Care Professionals at 爆料吃瓜网鈥揗aple Woods
In January, 爆料吃瓜网鈥檚 partnership with the Girl Scouts of NE Kansas and NW Missouri came to life through the VetVenture: Animal Science STEM Workshop at 爆料吃瓜网鈥揗aple Woods Veterinary Technology. Thirty Brownies earned their STEM Career Exploration Badge while exploring what it鈥檚 like to be an Animal Doctor for a Day.
The event introduced the scope-of-practice differences between veterinary technicians and veterinarians.
The participants rotated through five hands-on learning stations led by current Veterinary Technology students. At each 20-minute station, the group examined real X-rays as 鈥淏one Detectives,鈥� matched skulls in the Cranium Collection, listened to heart and lung sounds with stethoscopes, investigated parasites and blood cells under microscopes, and practiced life-saving CPR techniques by running a mock code and bandaging animals.
The workshop showcased the expertise of 爆料吃瓜网 faculty and students while inspiring the next generation to explore careers dedicated to keeping animals healthy.
