The student will be exposed to and involved in all aspects of an integrative, small animal veterinary practice. The student will directly observe the application of veterinary acupuncture, herbal medicine, supplements, natural nutrition, massage therapy and chiropractic to patients along with the administration of conventional care as each modality is warranted by the individual case. A second DVM at the practice has taken the Chi Institute acupuncture course and will serve as a secondary instructor. The student will learn the basic concepts involved in these holistic modalities and see how Western and CAVM therapies can work together.
The student will directly observe and interact with Doug Knueven, DVM who is certified in veterinary acupuncture, veterinary Chinese herbology, and veterinary chiropractic.
The student is expected to shadow and at times support Dr. Knueven and other doctors at the practice for a minimum of 40 hours per week. Days and times are flexible.
The housing is at no cost.
