    Afternoon Anatomy - Autumn 2024

    This event has now finished
    This day visit to the RVC's Camden Campus allows students to experience learning at the RVC through workshops, an anatomy quiz in our museum and a session with our live calves. Students will also have the opportunity to tour campus with our student ambassadors receiving advice and information.
    Wed 30 October 2024 - 10:45 to 15:30

    This activity teaches comparative physiology in the animal world by introducing groups to different real animal specimens. The session is split into three activities; a hands-on quiz in our anatomy museum conducted by the Head of Anatomy, Mr Andrew Crook MBE; an opportunity to explore physiology in context with our live calves, where groups can learn stethoscope skills and bovine adaptations; and a chance to complete a workshop in our university labs exploring science on a micro level.

    Important: Animal welfare is paramount at RVC: if our calves or any of our activities are not available the alternative activity is a directed learning session where students work through a clinical case study, to understand how a team at the RVC solves animal health issues.

    Applications can be made on our website.
