Description of Elective Experience

This is a hands on immersion in small animal private practice.  Students work to their capacity in all areas of small animal practice.  Students will be exposed to every aspect of working as a veterinarian in a small animal practice.  Students will be supported by a mentor every step of the way and will be given the autonomy to make their own decisions with the safety net of having that mentor standing by.  Students will be deeply involved in everything from physical exam, lab testing, diagnostic discussions, surgery, client communication, team communication, economics and even marketing.
