1) I asked someone at school are you going to the RVC open day and she said that there was some sort of vet day at Cambridge. Anyone know anything about this? It's on the 20th May

2) What is EMS?

1) Dont have a baldy..we need cmabridge folks inout here.

2) EMS = Extramural Studies, aka work experience/slave labour. It is a compulsory part of the vet course in the uk. You must do 12 weeks pre-clinical EMS - lambing, dairy farm, poultry, pigs, horses etc.
Then in the clinical part of the course you must do a further 26 weeks EMS on clinical placements in practice.
This is how it is at Glasgow and as far as I am aware it is the same throughout all of the vet schools.
The weeks may be distributed slightly different depedning on the vet school, but either way you have to do a total of 38 weeks, outside of the course during holidays.
