“Vets in Training is the most popular youth program in our humane society,” Community Programs Manager Kathleen McCaughey said in a statement.
“Even when it was only offered online, the places filled up pretty quickly. Now that it is offered in person, the veterinary staff running the program will be able to be more hands-on with participants as they practice the skills they learn during the program. “
The program allows young people ages seven and up to learn what veterinarians do, as they also explore topics such as animal behavior and anatomy. Young people will even have the opportunity to take basic physical exams.
