- demonstrate safe operating techniques
- more confidently handle and use surgical instruments
- better understand of the use and misuse of common suture materials and surgical needles
- use a variety of surgical knots safely and effectively
- safely and confidently ligate a vascular pedicle (including the effective use of the modified Miller’s knot)
- safely and confidently perform an ovariohysterectomy or ovariectomy in the bitch and the queen
- perform safe and consistent closure of the linea alba using a continuous suture pattern, the sliding self-locking knot and the Aberdeen knot
- perform a gastrotomy in a safe and confident manner

You will receive continual feedback and assessment throughout. Attendance at these courses will qualify for the full set of video presentations demonstrating all of the skills taught during the day of your attendance.
