Wellington, FL – October 31, 2012 − Joan Norton VMD, DACVIM of Norton Veterinary Consulting and Education Resources (NVCER), will serve as visiting professor at St George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in Grenada, West Indies, this fall through early November.
“From the first series of courses I taught to horse owners, I have known that education is my calling,” said Dr. Joan Norton, founder of NVCER. “It is always a great experience to get back to the classroom with enthusiastic veterinary students. Pair that with the St. George’s tropical island setting – it couldn’t be better!”
Dr Norton will teach a Large Animal Clinical Skills Course which focuses on in-depth physical exam, medications mathematics, and large animal clinical cases including use of the simulation lab for third semester veterinary students.
She will also participate in the equine section of the Basic Physical Exam Course taught to first semester students and interacting with the student organized Large Animal Society, giving evening lectures and labs.
Dr. Norton founded Norton Veterinary Consulting and Education Resources to promote equine veterinary education to horse owners, professionals and veterinarians. In addition to education on both general and focused topics, Norton Veterinary Consulting and Education Resources offers case-by-case equine and large animal internal medicine consulting services for veterinarians to review blood work, ultrasounds, x-rays, research topics and/or supply the latest, up-to-date information to help diagnose and manage challenging or mysterious cases.
