Ag Animal Veterinary Curriculum Resources
Initiated 5/07 Last Update 01/31/2013
Purpose: This webpage is a collection of links to resources, primarily on-line, relevant to the recruitment, retention and training of students interested in agricultural animal veterinary medicine. If you are aware of materials that I should include or spot errors on this page, please let me know at jmgay at vetmed dot wsu dot edu.
"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." -Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book Two, Chapter One (written in 350 BC)
"We don't learn from experience; we learn from reflecting on experience." -John Dewey
"One of our jobs as teachers is to help our most eager and creative students get to the knowledge frontier as fast as they want to go." R Lucas, 2002.
