This highly-interactive and multimedia-centric course will teach you about:
1. Veterinary terminology
2. First aid for animals
3. Office procedures

What’s unique about this course is that it features veterinary terminology software that allows you to utilize an audio glossary review to help you correctly pronounce terminology. This makes for a more interactive and fun learning environment.
