We schedule 1 student per service at a time so they can maximize the interaction with the clinician(s) they are assigned to. Students should go into exam rooms with our clinicians to observe and are welcome to interact with clients as appropriate. They are encouraged to listen to communications that are live and via phone for learning opportunities. Students should practice physical examinations on patients. They should be prepared to generate problem lists for patients, recommend and analyze diagnostic tests and/ or procedures, and generate treatment plans. Procedures will be observational or interactive for students, depending on what is being done, patient status, and student preparedness. We encourage students to interact with and learn from all of our health care team.
We are a 24/7 ER with daytime specialty services; no general practice is available. Currently we have the following rotations: emergency, critical care, internal medicine, surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, and medical oncology. MedVet Grapevine is also within the DFW Metroplex, and we have cardiology available at that hospital.
Students are scheduled to work 5 days per week. Specialty rotations are usually on weekdays, starting at 7:30am with hospital transfer rounds. ER rotations are a swing shift, starting at 12pm, and will include Saturdays, with a day off during the week. The final week of an ER rotation can be Monday-Friday to allow the student to travel on the weekend.
