2017 Science@CornellVet: From lecture notes to white coats--The transition to the clinic floor

Abstract

This blog post is about: On March 27, 2017, the transition from the classroom to the hospital floor began for the current third year Cornell veterinary students. It’s a rite of passage for every Cornell vet student in which they take all they have learned from the thousands of hours of studying and finally apply it with a purpose to living, breathing, patients. Whether it’s performing a routine puppy check-up or assisting with a life-saving surgery, the experiences of students on clinical rotations will prepare them for facing the cases they encounter upon graduation.
