Purdue Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Clinical Skills Laboratory recently acquired a life-size palpation cow that will provide veterinary medicine and veterinary nursing students more life-like learning opportunities. The Hereford Model Dystocia Simulator, like many other animal models in the lab, was purchased through an instructional equipment grant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new life-size palpation cow will be kept with the horse model in the Clinical Skills Lab.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With the model, DVM and veterinary nursing students will be\nable to learn about uterine palpation, and how to assist during a bovine\ndystocia.  The model allows students to\npractice placing obstetric chains and manipulating abnormal calf presentations\nin the birth canal.  This opportunity to\npractice will help students better understand techniques that can be used to successfully\ndeliver a calf during a difficult birth. \nAdditionally, the model has a functional udder, which gives students the\nopportunity to learn how to milk a cow or perform a mastitis test.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical Skills Laboratory Manager Danielle Buchanan, RVT,\nVTS (SAIM) said providing students with access to a more realistic learning option\nis very important. \u201cPrior to the development of clinical skills labs in\nveterinary schools, students had to get creative if they wanted opportunities to\npractice skills. Now, we have models for them to practice on providing them\nmore opportunities to gain confidence and mastery of skills before treating a\nlive animal for the first time,\u201d Danielle explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
