An externship at the Emergency Veterinary and Specialty Hospital of Roanoke will allow a student to experience a high case load of urgent and emergent cases on a walk in basis. We provide 24 hour hospitalization with consultation available from multiple specialties. Our doctors are accustomed to acting as hospitalists as well as managing an outpatient case load.
The student will primarily shadow the ER doctor with occasional opportunity to observe surgery with a board certified surgeon and observe imaging with our boarded internist. The ER doctors will also allow the student to observe emergency surgical cases that are not deferred to the specialty service. The student will observe crucial conversations with clients and the occasional student is given the opportunity to communicate directly with clients, under observation. Students will additionally be exposed to electronic medical record keeping
