Course description
Veterinary Technologists play an increasingly important role in patient care and the organisation of veterinary practices, or animal enterprises. This course will equip Veterinary Technology students with the essential knowledge and skills required for successful professional participation in the operations of a veterinary practice, hospital, or animal focused-organisation.
The course will build on prior learning in animal handling, providing students with knowledge in the operation of animal-focused enterprises through direct participation in Animal Husbandry Extra Mural placements (AHEMS).
Enrolment in VETS2009 is restricted. Students MUST have received a passing grade for the pre-requisite course ANIM1120 and completed 20 days toward the AHEMS milestone to be permitted to enrol in this course. Student enquiries relating to eligibility for enrolment can be directed to the SVS Admin Team (vetenquiries@uq.edu.au) for assistance.
