Testimonials

““This course (Basic Principles of Rodent Surgery) was very thorough and very easy to follow. It goes over all the basic knowledge needed to begin performing rodent surgeries. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in lab animal medicine or to sharpen your surgery skills.”

-Sheera Dashkow, CVT, MLAS ‘09” -Sheera Dashkow, CVT, MLAS ‘09

“"I never believed laparoscopy could be done in rodents. FANTASTIC. What a refinement. Russell and Burch would be proud!."” Shelly H.

“The ability to learn the logistics of aseptic surgery and osmotic pump implantation was great, and then the ability to do the surgery was outstanding.” - Julia K., MLAS, Drexel University College of Medicine
