Discover how Texas Tech University’s School of Veterinary Medicine is transforming veterinary education through early, hands-on ultrasound training with Butterfly technology.
In this video, Dr. John Dascanio, Senior Associate Dean for Academic & Student Affairs, explains how students receive their own portable ultrasound device from the beginning of their veterinary curriculum. By practicing throughout their education, students can develop confidence, recognize normal anatomy, identify common abnormalities, and build practical diagnostic skills before entering veterinary practice.
With access to portable ultrasound technology, students can practice at home, scan live animals, explore different species and body systems, and experience real-time imaging that connects classroom learning with clinical practice.
