FORGET MEMORIZING COMPLICATED FORMULAS
Designed by veteran wildlife rehabilitator, Peggy Hentz, this medical math course takes you from the very simple to the complex in an understandable and easy to follow structured learning experience.
The interactive problems will have you calculating in no time.
| In wildlife rehabilitation, basic math calculations are needed when determining drug dosages, fluid therapy and feeding amounts.
In addition to being able to formulate and solve mathematical problems, the wildlife rehabilitator needs to be proficient in the use of several instruments of measure such as the weight scale and syringes. An understanding of the metric system and the ability to covert to and from the US customary units is essential to proficiency in medical math. |
