Practice makes perfect is an old saying that applies just as much to the veterinary proffession as it does to all other fields, if not more so due to the innevitable variability of our patients. As professionals,BSE often rely on our experience in performing physical exams and various other simple procedures such as drawing blood to obtain an accurate diagnosis that can make all the difference for both the quality of life of our patients, and our clients. However, we are not born with the skills we need to make such a diagnosis, so practice is essential for us to nurture our abilities so we can provide the best care possible. I firmly believe that the ability to practice under the watchful eye of a licensed professional is key for developing the skills we need as vets.
