Colorado Animal Specialty & Emergency (Boulder, CO)

Attention:

The Colorado Workers' Compensation Act requires student interns to be covered by workers' compensation insurance. Ohio State is not able to add students to its institutional workers' compensation policy. Prior to scheduling an externship in Colorado, students must work with their externship supervisor to ensure that Colorado worker's compensation insurance requirements will be met. Proof of worker's compensation coverage must be sent to Dr. Emma Read for verification. If a student is not covered by a worker's compensation policy for their externship they will not earn academic credit for the rotation.

Description of Elective Experience

Extern will see cases under the direct mentorship of our criticalists and experienced emergency clinicians. While the focus of this externship is emergency and critical care, our multi-specialty hospital offers exposure to and collaboration with internal medicine, nephrology/urology (including extracorporeal therapy), surgery, neurology, diagnostic imaging, oncology (medical/surgical/radiation), anesthesia, dentistry, and ophthalmology. Externs will work on developing into confident diagnosticians and strengthen their verbal/written communication skills.
