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.

Our mid-sized small animal practice provides preventive, medical, surgical, and behavioral services for cats and dogs. Our practice strives to provide high quality, individualized care in a relationship centered practice while maintaining a positive team culture. Our practice is long standing in our community serving some families for over 3 decades. Externs will work alongside our doctors and technicians applying and growing their medical skills and knowledge as well as developing technical skills. When possible we will support development in areas of special interest to the student (anesthesia, cytology, dermatology, etc).
Our practice has a healthy ratio of doctors to support staff enabling doctors to focus on medical care. We are equipped to offer high quality medical care including tonometry, digital x-rays, and digital dental x-rays.
