Afternoon Anatomy - Summer Session

This activity, for Year 10-12 pupils with an aspiration to study Biological Sciences, Veterinary Medicine or Veterinary Nursing at university, provides the opportunity to learn comparative physiology in the animal world at the RVC’s London Campus.

A welcoming introductory talk will be followed by: a Directed Learning session based around a disease outbreak modelled after content from the Biological Sciences course; an interactive quiz using different real animal specimens within the impressive Anatomy Museum; the opportunity to explore physiology in context with our live calves, where groups can learn stethoscope skills and bovine adaptations. This is typically conducted by the RVC’s Anatomy Team and Head of Anatomy Mr Andrew Crook MBE.

Important: Animal welfare is paramount at RVC: if our calves or any of our activities are not available the alternative activity is a directed learning session where students work through a clinical case study, to understand how a team at the RVC solves animal health issues.

Applications can be made on our website.
