Veterinary Science Career Development Event

Purpose:

This contest is designed to assess student knowledge & abilities in the area of small & large animal veterinary medicine. Teams will be composed of 1 to 4 FFA members.

Event Information:

The event will take approximately 3 - 3.5 hours. Each student will be required to bring the following materials to the event: business dress (no jeans with holes and a collared shirt), clip board, pencils, & a calculator (cell phones not allowed).

General Exam: 30 Minutes

There will be 50 multiple choice questions worth two points each. Please see appendix for test bank of questions.

Breed Identification: 30 minutes

Students must identify 50 breeds of animal taken from the breed list will be presented to contestants to identify as photographs. Students will be provided the breed list during the competition & asked to place the number corresponding to a certain breed on the answer sheet. Each breed identified will be worth two points. Breed identification slides will include the average size of the breed or species so that students will be able to accurately identify the animal from a picture.

Please see the appendix for the breed list.

Practicums: 60 minutes

Six practicums will be run each year. Each student will complete both practicum A and B. Practicums may be performing the skill or answering questions related to performing that skill (Example: properly filling a syringe & administering medication may be reading how much medication is in a syringe or if a medication is being administered using the right route rather than actually using a needle & syringe). Practicums C, D, E and F will be completed by only one team member. Each team member will choose one of these 4 remaining practicums. No two team members can choose the same practicum. Students will choose the appropriate practicum at check in.

A.Surgical & animal care equipment, tools & feed identification - all team members **

B.Parasitology Identification (adults & eggs) – all team members **

C.Patient History & filling out medical record – one team member *

D.Set up a fecal flotation – one team member *

E.Properly fill a syringe and administer a medication – one team member *

F.Demonstrate a gauze/nylon muzzle application & quick release knot – one team member *

* See appendix E for rubric & chart.

** See appendix B and D

Scoring:

Individual & team scores will be calculated for the event. The individual score will be calculated as follows:

General Exam 100 points

Breed Identification 100 points

3 Practicums @ 25 points each 75 points

275 points total

In event of an individual tie, the placing will be determined by the general exam score, the breed identification score, & the first practicum score in that order.

The team score will be calculated as follows:

Three top individual scores @ 275 points 825 points
