NILE Vet Science

[Lindsey Harper]

Well, guess it is my turn to host a contest. I was asked by NILE a week ago to help with Vet Science at 3 p.m. – Monday, October 13 (what a birthday present for me.) Based on space and supplies we will pick 3-4 clinical procedures and at least 2 handling/restrainants. What we choose will be from this list. I've attached the National FFA handbook I will follow. 

If any ag teacher would like to help the day off, greatly appreciate it and I can show you more of this contest and train others to host a contest. 

I will start calling vets and medical students to be judges. If you have a vet or knowledgable community member who wants to be involved, please let me email me their contact info.

Let me clarify, I will be matching National test banks. I use Cornell curriculum for my vet science course and it seems more industry driven like the Nationals contest. 

2-4 handling or restraints practicums.
