Fanshawe is developing a veterinary care simulation lab designed to mirror actual clinical settings. Students will use the space to practise procedures, work through clinical workflows, and develop the technical skills required in veterinary practice.
The lab will build on existing experiential learning opportunities, including Fanshawe's partnership with the Humane Society London & Middlesex, to give students a well-rounded path from the classroom to the clinic.
The need for veterinary assistants and technicians continues to grow across Ontario. Graduates go on to work in clinics, shelters, research facilities, and other animal care settings.
Students who practise in a controlled environment before working with animals develop stronger clinical skills and make fewer errors when it counts. It also puts animal welfare first.
A simulation lab gives students a place to rehearse real procedures, make mistakes safely, and build the confidence that classroom learning alone can't provide.
Help students pursuing careers in animal care stay enrolled and complete their programs.
Equip the lab with the tools, training models, and technology students need to practise real veterinary procedures.
Support the renovation of the physical space into a clinical environment that reflects settings students will work in after graduation.
