I try to give students all the hands on experience we can give them. My staff is excellent with students. We work with a couple RVT programs helping them teach surgery assistance, in house labs, blood draws, surgery prep and recovery plsu day to day operations from check in to check out.
It is rare that student ever leaves here without having learned something unless we feel student is incapable or incompetent...that is rare but it has happened. If I feel a students knowledge level or ability levels is sub par and detrimental to animals or humans here, I will dismiss them. I have done this twice.
We have even worked with local hospital to teach pediattric residents to intubate cats for surgery. If they can tube a cat, a baby is easy..and if it saves a childs life, it is worth it.

He even came back to take out the stitches!

We are fast paced. We do like have fun, we do laugh, poke fun at silly things, there is an occaisional prank, but at the end of the day the animals are priority and things are taken care of.
