WEBVTT

00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:17.659
The program is the pre
veterinary animal science program and we

00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:20.879
feature the marine lab, the
animal lab,

00:00:20.889 --> 00:00:22.340
as well as classroom time.

00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:25.399
We cover a variety of topics
from small animal care and

00:00:25.409 --> 00:00:29.260
management to different
practices that are done on the

00:00:29.270 --> 00:00:31.860
agricultural levels or the farm
levels.

00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:35.979
We also talk about different
diseases, treatments, medications,

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:37.840
handling the animals properly.

00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:40.360
The students, it's 1/7 semester
program.

00:00:40.369 --> 00:00:43.919
And in the sixth semester, they
take a national exam.

00:00:43.930 --> 00:00:46.119
If they score high enough on the
exam,

00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:49.440
they can also earn three
elective biology credits.

00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:54.200
The program features year one
where you focus on small animals.

00:00:54.209 --> 00:00:58.439
Year two, the main focus is
agricultural animals and practices.

00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:01.799
Year three is animal handling
and medical practices.

00:01:01.849 --> 00:01:05.959
The seventh semester is done in
senior year and that's where we

00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:09.690
focus on the career, financial
management part.

00:01:09.809 --> 00:01:11.720
What would you do? Working
behind the scenes?

00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:15.339
If you are the administrator for
a veterinary hospital or clinic,

00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:18.500
what things would you have to
know? How do you do the orders?

00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:22.580
So it's not just the, here's the
animal, it's cute. Let's play.

00:01:22.589 --> 00:01:26.739
It's also what skills you need
to know in order to run and

00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:29.260
maintain a facility when you're
caring for animals,

00:01:29.269 --> 00:01:30.860
do a lot of fun projects too.

00:01:30.949 --> 00:01:33.900
So you can improve your skills
in my program by coming with a

00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:37.040
curious and open mind. There's a
lot of stuff. Maybe.

00:01:37.050 --> 00:01:40.000
Sometimes it seems boring.
Maybe, sometimes it seems silly.

00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:40.319
Maybe,

00:01:40.330 --> 00:01:44.239
sometimes it seems weird but
just engaging with the content and

00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:46.209
really having an open mind to
learning,

00:01:46.389 --> 00:01:50.514
you can really do well by having
empathy for the animals and by

00:01:50.525 --> 00:01:51.714
working hard, you know,

00:01:51.724 --> 00:01:53.355
maybe you're not doing the best
in class.

00:01:53.364 --> 00:01:55.194
But if you're coming to lab,
you're coming to class,

00:01:55.205 --> 00:01:57.705
you're coming every day and
you're putting in the best effort,

00:01:57.714 --> 00:01:59.434
you're definitely gonna learn
something and you're definitely

00:01:59.444 --> 00:02:02.305
gonna have a little bit of fun
to the experience and skills that

00:02:02.315 --> 00:02:04.464
the kids get. They don't only
handle a rabbit.

00:02:04.474 --> 00:02:11.074
We have a variety of animals
from reptiles, birds, mammals,

00:02:11.085 --> 00:02:16.145
fish, and the students learn how
to take care of all of them.

00:02:16.195 --> 00:02:16.664
Now,

00:02:16.675 --> 00:02:24.910
with regards to putting this
with an idea of them going on and

00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.610
further their education with it
is if they do wanna work with

00:02:28.619 --> 00:02:29.220
animals, right?

00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:31.639
That's what they get certified
in small animal care and

00:02:31.649 --> 00:02:35.899
management. We have articulation
agreements with universities.

00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:39.979
We have internships even before
the students graduate in which

00:02:39.990 --> 00:02:42.615
they work some for volunteer,

00:02:42.625 --> 00:02:47.255
some for getting paid and they
already start networking with

00:02:47.264 --> 00:02:51.024
these institutions of higher
learning or with these businesses

00:02:51.035 --> 00:02:53.955
or places of re research in
which they start to get an

00:02:53.964 --> 00:02:58.485
experience and start to really
see what it's really about and

00:02:58.494 --> 00:03:03.184
that will help them make a
better career choice in the future.

00:03:03.285 --> 00:03:05.205
Honestly, I love Miss Hilarious
and Mra,

00:03:05.494 --> 00:03:06.744
they do different things.

00:03:06.755 --> 00:03:09.544
They're also really like
teachers that you could talk to about

00:03:09.554 --> 00:03:11.535
different things, not just about
the regular program.

00:03:11.779 --> 00:03:13.039
The program itself though,

00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:17.100
honestly teaches you things
about animals as it should and it

00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.570
teaches you how to clean
different cages such as the chicken

00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:23.949
coop, the ferret cages, rat
cages and human guinea pigs.

00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.860
It's a lot and we get to
basically learn about even us as humans.

00:03:28.869 --> 00:03:30.899
And also throughout this
experience,

00:03:31.070 --> 00:03:33.979
I have been able to make so many
friends,

00:03:33.990 --> 00:03:34.940
so many different people.

00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:38.080
I know and I love it honestly, I
like how it's interactive.

00:03:38.089 --> 00:03:40.160
I like how it forces you out of
your comfort zone.

00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:42.139
It makes students, you know,

00:03:42.404 --> 00:03:45.985
make students feel like there's
something to do every day

00:03:45.994 --> 00:03:48.994
regardless whether that be a pen
on paper or being here in the

00:03:49.005 --> 00:03:51.024
lab and accidents do happen.

00:03:51.035 --> 00:03:52.975
And that's part of the learning
experience. You know,

00:03:52.985 --> 00:03:56.125
I think this program helped me
learn a lot of new things.

00:03:56.134 --> 00:04:00.060
It helped me with a, with a
multitude of questions that I had,

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.830
you know, that I thought weren't
going to be answered.

00:04:03.130 --> 00:04:05.279
And it taught me a lot about
biology.

00:04:05.289 --> 00:04:07.259
It taught me a lot about animal
behavior.

00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:10.740
It taught me how to take care of
small animals, large animals,

00:04:10.750 --> 00:04:12.889
even to tortoises and fishes.

00:04:13.179 --> 00:04:17.019
So it definitely helped me learn
new experiences and even teach

00:04:17.029 --> 00:04:20.869
some of those experiences to our
freshman.

00:04:21.169 --> 00:04:24.558
I like the people that are
within the program, the teachers,

00:04:24.569 --> 00:04:27.398
the students and I also like
being able to take care of the

00:04:27.408 --> 00:04:30.098
animals that are within our
labs,

00:04:30.109 --> 00:04:32.239
our marine lab and our animal
lab.

00:04:32.539 --> 00:04:36.239
But fancy he does not have dogs.
