The average score in 2015-16 was 513.”  Read more on the University of Guelph website.

“ On rotation:  Fourth year DVM students Caitlin and Veronica performing an abdominal ultrasound on a cat on their Radiology Rotation. “What you see going on is a method of restraint that does not require the use of drugs like dexmedetomidine. Instead, we use Feliway in the room (a pheromone to relax him), The ‘disco’ lights help to distract, and entertain cats, keeping them calm during the exam.” Thanks so much for sharing @cforbe01 and Veronica!! #ovc2018#onrotation“

“This year 37 student veterinarians, almost 1/3 of the class of 2019 (our highest participation ever!) have headed out on their Global Vets adventure. OVC Global Vets consists of 12 teams of student veterinarians from the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph that are providing volunteer veterinary services around the world this summer.  Each group works alongside licensed veterinary teams in clinics or rehab Centres. 📷 from Alex, Julia and Goldia- One of our teams in Africa who is currently working in Malawi - “#Repost@barefootyogi For the past few days our Global Vets team has been helping the centre veterinarian with minor procedures and health checks on vervet monkeys. In this photo, I am monitoring the vitals of Whitney, who received a small hormonal implant in her arm. This implant ensures that she won’t become pregnant while she is here at the centre and will be removed before she is released back into the wild! Our team has already learned so much from our short time here and we are looking forward to the upcoming week. Tomorrow we head to Kuti Wildlife Reserve!”
