I am a proud advisor to the Integrative Medicine Club at Tufts.
I was given the opportunity to offer a course to veterinary students during Selective Week. Students learning basic massage techniques that can be used during a physical exam that calm, and open communication with the patient. These techniques can also show areas of concern.
This is a WIN for everyone. This pup started out a bit anxious and with some stress behaviors. All of the students in this selective course get A’s, 100%, with lots of extra credit. All the dogs involved happily agreed.
Dear Fabulous Educators
I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for everything you did to make enrichment week a huge success. We had 94% participation – I’m pretty sure that is a record (remember that the students are not required to do anything – other than hospital tours). That speaks to the richness of opportunities that you provided. There was something for everyone this year, with some unique offerings this year. Whether attending a new session or one that has been offered in year’s past, our students gained experiences that will serve them well.
I know how much work you put into creating these educational opportunities. I want you to know how much those efforts are appreciated.
Thanks again – you are all shining stars!

Hi Diane! Thank you for your kind words. I think I will end up at an integrative practice after graduation and I am very excited to see all the things I can learn. We really appreciate all you have done for our club, you are such a kind soul! Hopefully I will see you during clinics!

Hi Diane,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I enjoyed this event so much and have been enjoying practicing on my puppy and cats. My dog was a little apprehensive at first, but she's been getting used to it and enjoying it. I am excited to have this new skill and practice it with my future patients. Thank you for taking the time to come teach us!
All the best,
Joanna
