UGA Animal Surgery Orientation

This app was created to introduce final-year students in the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine to the small animal surgery area of the veterinary teaching hospital. The app includes a series of videos that summarize the different surgery suites and their uses, the various carts and cabinets in the area, preparation of the operating rooms and surgical sites, opening sterile supplies, proper connection of specific pieces of equipment, and procedures used to clean the area at the end of the day. To facilitate the orientation process when students are on-call, the app also includes still images depicting the most relevant parts of the videos, and important ‘things to know’.
