Practice by doing! Especially when it comes to surgery, a concept may be easy on paper but in reality, each student needs to determine how to handle suture and instruments in their own way. By systematically approaching spays and neuters, with tools to adjust depending on the animal, it gives them the framework to apply their knowledge and skills to any size animal or situation.

Being trained at Western, I am a big fan of the problem based learning style. It allows students to work through the problem, figure out necessary quesitons they need to ask, find information they need to know to fill in the blanks, and the tools to be able to come up with a plan. It also encourages communication and working together in a group style which follows these students as they go out into practice.
