Oregon Tech students participate in hands-on animal care as part of pre-vet course

As part of Oregon Tech’s biology of companion animals coursework, students in assistant professor Tricia Elliott’s class have worked with baby goats, snakes, lizards, baby quail, and rabbits. Two special events during spring term also took them outside the classroom for hands-on care of horses, dogs, and cats.

The class serves as a pre-veterinary course but is available to all students. This year, the class includes 18 students from programs such as biology-health sciences, civil engineering, communication, cybersecurity, nursing, and psychology.
