2008 Mini-Vet School
The
2008 dates are four consecutive Thursday evenings October 2 - 30 from 7-9 p.m. at the University at Buffalo Main Street
campus, Farber Hall, Butler Auditorium. Additional information will be
posted as it becomes available.
UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences invites those who want to learn about veterinary medicine and the connection between research and the advances in veterinary care to enroll in this lecture series.
Participants in the Mini-Vet School will meet and hear some of the most dynamic teachers from among the accomplished veterinarians in Western New York.
Mini-Vet School graduates will receive a certificate attesting to the completion of 10 hours of veterinary science.
The beneficial effects of living with devoted and playful pets on the physical and psychological well-being of their owners
have been well-documented. At the same time, pet owners
are committed to maintaining the good health and happiness
of their faithful pets.
In the middle of these beneficial reciprocal relationships
between humans and animals are the dedicated, competent
practitioners of veterinary medicine who strive with
consummate training and skill to cope with the myriad
of diseases and injuries that affect these animals.
Where people and science meet
In UB’s Mini-Vet School, you will learn about the causes and
treatments of the conditions that affect your pets, as well as
some of the latest advances in veterinary medicine.
The Mini-Vet School is a five-week series of lectures by
accomplished and dynamic veterinarians from Western New
York. For two hours each Thursday evening, they lead you on
a fascinating journey of discovery. Each lecture will be a“course” in a subject covered in veterinary school.
Graduates of the Mini-Vet School
will not be eligible to practice
veterinary medicine, but will have a better understanding
of their pets’ health!
