Vet School Stress Relief: Canadian Edition

Canadian Vet School Fun, by Anastasia Missan 

From SAVMA’s Canadian Chapter: 

The Atlantic Veterinary College is SAVMA’s only Canadian chapter. Where vet students have to snow shoe to school to learn how to treat polar bears with broken paws, moose with foreign bodies and beavers with food allergies. Not really, but we wish. 

Regardless of where you go to vet school, you are sure to be extremely busy with endless midterms, countless finals, assignments, and too many classes to keep track of. But no matter how exhausted you are, it is important to take some time for you and have a bit of fun. 

Here at the Atlantic Veterinary College we do that in our own special way. Every January to the end of February we have a school wide broomball league tournament. Teams are based on classes, one team per class and as a result broomball is a very competitive sport amongst the three classes, with the winners receiving the highly celebrated broomball champion trophy.  

The rules are simple; score the ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is played on a hockey rink, with shoes instead of skates and brooms instead of hockey sticks. Helmets are a must. The result is a group of vet students running on ice, failing miserably and falling spectacularly.  For those two months the students at Atlantic Veterinary College have more bruises than spots on a Holstein. We might not all be the greatest athletes, but we do know how to have fun.

Keep your Snoot to Yourself!

Thanks to Ivana Levy of the University of Illinois for sharing this very appropriate line to our 'Caption This!' Category!  We will be able to boop snoots again, we will!

"What do you mean we aren't allowed to boop snoots because of COVID? Thats unacceptable!"
