VET TECH 1030RW - Evidence-based Veterinary Technology I

The career of Veterinary Technologists involves life-long learning and requires the ability to gather, evaluate and synthesise new information based on scientific research and endeavour. Not all sources of information are reliable and this course provides the tools to critically examine evidence, understand statistical comparisons and adopt a sceptical approach to unsubstantiated opinion and baseless claims. In the world of animal health and welfare there are many claims for remedies and treatments, some of which are based on good science and some of which are not. A Veterinary Technologist knows how to identify the trustworthy and the reliable, and how to expose the myth and the fabrication. This course will provide the budding Vet Tech with the skills to investigate and review scientific publications and apply scientific method in his or her approach to career and life.
