She's now teaching courses about the skills needed to work within a veterinary hospital and placing UD students in partner hospitals to use the skills they’ve learned.

In the spring semester, the experience concludes with an advanced course, Clinical Pre-Veterinary Experience II, and another for-credit externship in the summer. .
