Veterinary remedy students from Sichuan Agricultural University in China and veterinary nursing college students from Rakuno Gakuen University in Japan visited Purdue Veterinary Medicine for two weeks in July.

The externship is designed to present them with an outline of how veterinary medicine is practiced in the United States. “The rehabilitation room is one of our favorite components of the hospital!” said several Sichuan University students.
As part of the trade application, Dr. Tomohito Inoue, PVM continuing lecturer of anesthesiology, additionally led a collection of Purdue veterinary and veterinary nursing college students on experience to Rakuno Gakuen University in advance this year. There, the PVM students discovered the roles of veterinary nurses in the clinics in Japan and had the opportunity to engage in some medical rotations at the university’s veterinary clinic. Additionally, they could benefit from a brand new cultural attitude and engage with the students inside the university.
Obtaining a veterinary medicine diploma in Japan and China is a bit exclusive from earning a DVM diploma in the United States. After graduating from high school, students in China enroll in a college where they pursue a Bachelor of Veterinary Science diploma or equivalent. With that diploma, they can emerge as a practicing veterinarian. However, many move on to earn a master’s degree and Ph.D. at a college inside the country they desire to exercise. Japanese veterinary nursing college students complete a 4-year diploma application after excessive school, after which they can both start working as veterinary nurses or pursue a master’s degree.
PVM Director of Global Engagement Will Smith said that he and Program Coordinator Chelsi Laposi sought to provide the students with the full move-cultural U.S. Veterinary pupil enjoy. They were put up in homes on campus with easy right of entry to the shops and eating places close by. They also participated in unique occasions and activities. The college students said they loved their time here, and we’re very appreciative of all the work that went into hosting them, together with the efforts of Will, Chelsi, and Dr. Inoue to coordinate application information.
Their visit ended Friday, August 2, with a farewell reception in their honor. During the rite, one student from each university spoke about their time here. Kazuo Tanaka of Rakuno Gakuen University said she was glad to see how vital veterinary nurses are at the Purdue Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
