VTMED 6754
Small Animal Euthanasia: Clinical Communications and Practice

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course is designed to help you begin to build comfort with end-of-life care; feel more prepared to provide euthanasia; and supply practice discussing euthanasia with clients. Given that, at most, 25% of veterinary students graduate with first-hand euthanasia experience (McVety, 2017) it is not surprising that the majority of veterinary graduates feel neither competent nor comfortable with the technical and professional skills involved with euthanasia (Tinga, et al., 2001). This course is meant to address that gap. Through immersive laboratories and active-learning-focused lectures, students will (1) expand their knowledge and (2) refine clinical communication and practical skills as they relate to veterinary euthanasia of companion animals.


Enrollment Priority Enrollment limited to: third-year veterinary students.
