Hi. You are essentially writing a personal manual for yourself on the tests specified in the assignment sheet. It should be as detailed as you would need it to be to walk into a lab and complete the test step by step and understand its purpose and what the results mean. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
Note: I am not the best writer (to be honest I am awful at it). But I have all the ideas and content, I just need help putting it into words. I am working with a pre-vet adviser on my application but I cannot get my drafts done or they are unreadable. I am looking for someone to help me put my ideas into words. Please contact me at (424) 208-4876 if you are interested. I am trying to get this done quickly and successfully.
Here is the prompt below: 3000 characters max (counting spaces)
Your essay should answer why you want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
Although there is no set of rules mandating what a strong personal statement should include, here are a few tips to help you successfully craft an effective personal statement:
Explain a defining moment that helped steer you toward a career in veterinary medicine. Consider using that moment as the focal point of your essay.
Be original and thoughtful: Discuss how you would contribute to the profession and patient care, all of which will help you stand out from other applicants.
As you are telling us why you want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, explain why you are a good candidate for veterinary school. Ask yourself—in a pile of 100 applications, would I enjoy reading my statement? Be sure to convey your passion for veterinary medicine in your statement.
Many of you have had meaningful experiences with animals or veterinarians as children and these are important but should only be mentioned briefly.
Your application materials already contain a summary of your accomplishments, so avoid repeating information from your transcripts or reference letters.
Give yourself time to organize your thoughts, write well and edit as necessary.
Ask yourself if this essay is a good representation of your character, ideals, and aspirations.
Don’t forget to proofread!

Format
The project must be constructed using Microsoft Word, numbered pages, and APA style formatting, references, and in-text citations. Appropriate fonts include Times New Roman and Arial. Font should be 12 point and line spacing single, 1.5, or “at least” – spacing between sections intended to provide aesthetics is permitted. A cover page, table of contents, and facility mission statement must be included. Information concerning animals expected to be/reside in the facility and how to provide excellent care should fold into Sections A-E seamlessly without needless jumping around. Project length must be no less than 10 and no more than 15 pages.
First Things First (Before You Write!)*
Your employee handbook should be the road map for how to operate within your facility – an introduction to your culture and a guide that your employees use in the preparation and then interact with on a regular basis on the job. Every organization should have a mission: the reason why your employees come to your workplace each day, rather than the millions of other workplaces out there. Your mission should engage your employees on both an emotional and intellectual level, establishing an exciting challenge they care about. Start your handbook by telling your employees your company’s mission and values. That will set the framework for the rest of your policies and procedures… not only for the reader but also for you, the drafter. Steer away from putting generic policies into your handbook – personalize your policies for your facility. Explain your policies and your reasons behind them, and do it in a tone that’s consistent with the way you typically speak with your employees. Remember, no facility can be idealistic – anticipating real-world problems and solutions will help to guide you.
Sections Your Handbook Must Cover
Section A: Safety Precautions & Solutions
How will staff serve to minimize the potential for harm to animals, employees, and even clients? Do government agencies or professional organizations come into play?
Covered in Week 2
Section B: Be On the Lookout: Behavioral Awareness
Discuss behaviors commonly displayed by animals in your facility. What behavioral changes may indicate an animal is sick or especially stressed? How will staff track and respond to animal behavior in your facility?
Must discuss between 2 and 5 behaviors relevant to the animals in your facility.
Covered in Weeks 1, 3, and 5
Section C: Habitat Maintenance
What are staff required to do to maintain animal habitats? Are there special considerations when cleaning? Consider habitat variables: size, material, potential weak points, etc. What enrichment will you provide to the animals? How will your habitat promote proper animal welfare?
Covered in Weeks 1 and 2
Section D: Animal Training Protocols
Is training necessary – why or why not? How might protocols vary in your facility, if at all? Are all staff permitted to train? What training tools will you use? Are animals in your facility learning from both classical and operant conditioning?
Must discuss protocols for between 2 and 5 animals.
Covered in Week 4
Section E: Animal Handling
Who can handle which animals? Are there any limitations on this? Will you draw from any other sections when discussing animal handling? What are the requirements staff might need to handle animals? How can handling be accomplished safely and without causing undue stress or harm to the animal?
Must compare and contrast methods between 2 and 5 animals.
Covered in Weeks 3, 4, and 5

This research project contains four parts. You’ll research and write about each of the following topics:
Fluid administration
Emergency care
Wound management
Veterinary periodontics
Although there’s no required minimum or maximum page length, the recommended length is two to three pages per topic. The questions should be thoroughly researched and answered, making sure to avoid straying too far from the stated focus. Use publication search engines such as PubMed to obtain original research papers if you plan to use these to address any of the questions. Consult reliable and up-to-date reference materials as needed and appropriate.
See attached file for more specific information.
Overall, animal husbandry methods in zoological gardens in the U.S. have improved exponentially over the last few decades. In a 3-4 page paper, describe these changes and specific improvements to zoos and other animal facilities. How have animal facilitates improved over the past 20-30 years? Who and/or what do you think is responsible for these improvements? How has public perception of zoos changed over time? Name 1-2 ways you anticipate zoos will improve husbandry methods in the years to come.
Your paper should follow the formatting guidelines in the Course Project (Font should be 12 point and line spacing single spaced or 1.5 spaced, or “at least” – spacing, and references in APA format).
