I would suggest also looking at positioning for radiography, althou radiography is not taught till 2nd yr the anatomically landmarks would help out! this would help her getting used to palpate landmarks and get used to directions as phrin stated.

I helped our L2 student practice this last year for portfolio, and basically got her to identify all the directions (rostral, lateral etc), and anatomical landmarks I could think of ( ishium, greater trochanter, thoracolumbar junction, olecranon process etc) on my very long suffering pooch, who will do ANYTHING for a treat
