Countryside Veterinary Clinic, MD

Description of Elective Experience

We have a great work place focused on patient care and team work. Our externs have the opportunity to learn from a wonderful team of doctors and registered technicians. We allow our externs to follow along in appointments ranging from general wellness and preventative medicine to injury/illness and emergency appointments. Our veterinarians performed routine surgeries (spays, neuters, lump removals) to  emergency procedures (splenectomies, explanatories, and more) allowing our externs to follow along from start to finish and scrub in for a hands on experience. We value externs who want to collaborate and participate in patient care and treatment plans. 

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.

Our hospital is well staffed with registered technicians, a dedicated assistant per doctor, and more. We have digital general and dental radiology, in house bloodwork, an ultrasound machine, laser therapy, and more. 

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

Our externs are expected to be an active participant in patient care and treatment plans to help us better their time while here. We work Monday through Saturday and would allow our externs some flexibility in their day to reach their required hours.
