Learning experience we offer
We all love teaching! Clinical Lead Katie was fortunate to have a fantastic student experience during her training, and is passionate about ensuring other prospective vets get the same opportunities to practice all that theory we get thrown at us in vet school!
We have a placement starter self-assessment questionnaire which will help you to get stuck in to your clinical training and help us to help you launch into your career. Our promises to you:
- We will always endeavour to discuss your objectives in an early placement conversation
- Ensure you are always aware who you can buddy up with on a day-to-day basis
- Provide a day one induction and informal check-ins during your placement
- Offer a personalised learning experience according to your knowledge and skills across the areas of consulting, laboratory, core skills and surgical skills
- Enthusiastically enjoy knowledge sharing and teaching with patience
- Share the responsibility of teaching across the whole team
- Value building bonds with students by integrating and making you feel part of the team
- Provide personal and professional developmental feedback on placement completion
