🌟 Oklahoma Rural Veterinary Scholarship Program Recipient Spotlight 🌟

Join us in congratulating Braden Winters, ORVSP recipient!

Winters, from Okmulgee, Oklahoma, discovered his passion for veterinary medicine through his involvement in his family’s business and by showing livestock, where he gained an early appreciation for animal health and agriculture.

Inspired by veterinarians in his community who served as mentors and leaders, he pursued a path in mixed-animal rural practice.

After veterinary school, he looks forward to continuing to learn through hands-on experience, building relationships with clients, and providing care for both animals and the communities that depend on them.

We recently celebrated some very special members of our teaching community 🐾

The clinical skills, clinical reasoning & communications team hosted a party honoring the dogs who have volunteered in our labs over the past three years. As their owners transition into fourth year, these amazing pups are officially “retiring” from teaching duties.

Each dog received a certificate of appreciation, a pup cup and a goodie bag—thanks to the generous support of the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association, Patterson Health Center, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Purina and the OSU CVM.

Some of these dogs participated in a single lab, while others helped across multiple experiences. Their comfort and well-being were always our top priority, with close monitoring for stress and plenty of treats, breaks and affection along the way.

These pets are only involved in noninvasive teaching labs, where students learn skills such as physical exams, specialty exams (ophthalmic, neurologic and musculoskeletal), blood pressure checks, ECG placement and ultrasound techniques.

We appreciate the role these dogs played in helping train our students! 🧡
