This lab will allow time for you to practice and improve your neurologic examination skills on live dogs. We will discuss practical tools you can use in the clinical setting, such as instructions you can give to guide your technical staff in proper restraint of neurologic patients and ways to position your body when evaluating large patients to prevent you from hurting your back! During this small group experience, we will provide individualized guidance with the goal of enhancing your examination skills and interpretation of your findings. Attendees of this lab must attend the Thursday morning neurologic examination lecture.
