GP small animal (k9/fel) established 2 doctor (1.75 FTE) practice offering well/preventive care, sick/injured, dentistry, soft tissue surgery and grooming.

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

We are willing to be flexible and work with a student's availability. Additionally, the experience would be a combination of shadowing and support based on skills and comfort level of both the student and supervising DVM.

Student Housing (include costs, amenities, pet friendly, contact info if different from elective contact info)
