ABSTRACT: This article outlines the experiences of a UK veterinary nurse undertaking a nine-week locum teaching position at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St Kitts in the Caribbean. Teaching involved professional and communication skills education across seven semesters of pre-clinical students, and included large-group teaching using the ‘flipped classroom’ technique, and small-group work using simulated clients. The author also assisted with clinical teaching in the clinical skills lab, and physical examination and handling of canine patients.
