Raising a future veterinarian?
Imagine supporting your child's dreams
and making their journey to vet school
a tiny bit easier.
Perfect for ages 10–18.
I loved this class! Kaitlyn taught everything so well and I learned so much! I highly recommend this class even if you aren't homeschooled! It was incredible.
This was an amazing class. My daughter wants to be a vet and described Kaitlyn as "legit." She enjoyed hearing things from her personal experiences and point of view. Kaitlyn is extremely good, explaining in understandable terms.
What a perfect all-around introduction. My daughter said "only more farm animals" would make it better. The farm lessons were her favorite by far. Kaitlyn answered all of our questions and we're waiting on the next course release!

18 video learning modules with complementary student PDF workbooks & parent answer guides
(in approximately an hour of video instrucition per week, this course could take one semester, designed to provide strong foundations in various subjects, not specific species, so students are exposed to a variety of topics and can then continue interest-based learning)
Tiny topics organized strategically to prepare students for first animal-related jobs better than traditional science education (in short: immersive interest-based learning helps retain knowledge... 'cause vet school wants experience, so understanding the science behind the experience you're getting is more valuable than your child knows!)
Access to a COPPA-compliant community (students can leave comments on video lessons where teacher(s) can respond and other students can respond as well!)
Practical strategies to help your child get seen and persuade future employers they are the perfect fit (newsflash... game changer! I have tips for students looking for work who currently have very little experience)
Examples of actual science applied in the animal world (all students want examples... this course sets students up to understand why learning a topic applies to their future, not just more to learn... we aren't here to memorize facts)
Very clear instructions (basic, but critical... all students must start with a strong foundation, and this course maps the foundation to a strong core where students can build on individual interests and focus)
experience opportunities to effectively practice written communication
build decision-making capabilities
build self-confidence and empathy
develop professional skills and solid resume points
why a student's favorite animal is not the end of their education, but why it very well may also not be the beginning, either
language in the animal and vet industry and begin your personal resource of acronyms, root words, prefixes, and suffixes
how one identifies emergencies in triage
the major vertebrate digestive systems through comparison and contrast
how veterinary medicine evolved to where we are today and potentially where we may end up in the future
the body's greatest defense: the skin
the significance of the brain and heart in healthcare
Develop the skillsets to increase the probability of first-application vet school acceptance (the 10%!) ... and while vet school isn't in the near future almost any of my students, those skills are used in the near future of almost all of my students.
