Unitec opens first simulated veterinary teaching clinic to enable students to learn in a safe environment.

Unitec Institute of Technology is opening the first simulated veterinary teaching clinic that will enable its students to learn in a safe environment before they gain experience in a real clinic.

The vet clinic at the Department of Natural Sciences has been equipped with the latest technology from Europe and the United States, complete with animal mannequins, to help the students with their learning.

Students will be taught procedures around taking the animal’s blood pressure, administering a tube to an animal’s airways for anaesthetic procedures, preparing animals for surgery and x-rays, bandaging them, and finding a pulse, amongst others.
