Course Activities and Design

This is a four-credit-hour course that meets for sixteen-lab hours per week. Students are matched to a veterinary hospital or clinic for the course practicum. The match is determined by the Department Chair or the Cooperative Education Specialist in the event of the Department Chair’s absence. Each student is expected to attend 160 total hours at the clinical site and complete a term paper.  

Outcome Assessment Strategies

The student shall be evaluated on their attendance, term paper, punctuality, ability to function on-the-job, completion of the Task Accomplishment Sheet, and by the written evaluation of their performance from their clinical supervisor. Based on the satisfactory completion of the above items, a pass or no pass grade will be issued by the Cooperative Education Specialist.
