Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?

Clinic is open 7:30 AM to 5;00 PM Monday thru Friday and 7:30 to 12:00 noon on Saturday.  On call for all emergencies at all other times, but not many out of hours emergencies.  Maybe one per week, sometimes not that many and other times a couple more.  Students' experience and classes already taken at school, dictates what they are allowed to do, otherwise they will learn how we do it from here.  Hands on as much as their experience will allow, otherwise shadowing and learning.   We challenge students' anatomy and clinical science skills and health programs that we institute with our beef calf ranches.  NO DAIRY here.
