 The "Dog
Doctors" Youth Outreach Program can introduce
your students to the pleasures and responsibilities
of dog ownership and expose them to the possibility
of a career in Research and Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. Paige Carmichael and UGA veterinary students come
into your classroom as they have several other classrooms
in the state, with three large Bernese Mountain dogs
- The Dog Doctors. The Dog Doctors make stops at elementary,
middle and high schools throughout Georgia.
Dr. Carmichael will talk about her research and the
roles that the Dog Doctors play in her development
of tests to detect genetic diseases in dogs. She will
answer student’s questions about the dogs, her
research, and careers in Veterinary Medicine and will
show photographs of the Dog Doctors as they grew from
babies to full-grown animals. Students will also be
able to interact with the dogs as well as with the
veterinary studenst who will show them X-Rays and bones
of animals. |
