Hey guys,
This semester in college I was involved in research where I was allowed to perform some surgeries on birds...I got to anesthetize them, cut them open, perform the surgery, sew them up, and then wake them up. I was shown how to do everything first by the main surgeon and then I was supervised during the surgeries. I also had lots of experience vet-teching/assisting surgeries in vet clinics and performing dissections in my anatomy classes, so I was pretty familiar with surgery techniques and tools.
However, am I allowed to talk about it on my veterinary application or in any veterinary school interviews? I was recently told my a scholarship committee that veterinary schools look down upon surgery performed by technically untrained students--they see it as a moral concern.
What are all of your opinions? I really appreciate your help.
