College Of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences To Host 22nd Annual Open House
The Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) will host its 22nd annual Open House Saturday, April 25, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Open House is an exciting, student-run event where the public can explore one of the nation’s top veterinary schools inside and out. The Texas A&M University veterinary medical students enjoy the opportunity to sponsor an event that provides the public an educational and entertaining experience that emphasizes the roles veterinarians and animals play in our society.
Open House features exciting indoor and outdoor exhibits, a variety of hands-on events, and tours of several areas in both the large and small animal hospitals that otherwise are inaccessible to the public.
Visitors to the Small Animal Hospital have the opportunity to observe live spay and neuter surgeries and explore specialty rooms such as cardiology, oncology and zoological medicine. Veterinary students will answer questions about specimens in the pathology, parasitology and anatomy rooms.
One of Open House’s most popular events is Teddy Bear Surgery, where children can experience veterinary medicine first-hand by entering a real operating room and performing surgery on their favorite stuffed animal.
