Northridge Animal Clinic, OH

Description of Elective Experience

Primary small animal with some pocket pet and exotic species.  We also do wildlife rehabilitation.  

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.

We are a fully equipped veterinary clinic consisting of a full in-house labratory, digital radiology, dental radiology and dental drill, Companion therapy laser, ultrasound machine, and a fully stocked pharmacy.  We have 3 full-time veterinarians and 7 registered veterinary technicians here to assist you.  

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

Normal work day is 8-5 or 8-6 and 8-12 on Saturdays.  No emergency hours, but some emergencies do come in during normal business hours.  Students will start off shadowing and then can eventually start seeing patients on their own with a veterinarian to oversee and finalize diagnosis and treatment plans.  We deal with a lot of rescues and have a high surgery caseload, so opportunities exist to perform supervised surgeries as well. Surgery is completed usually three days a week and we complete a wide variety of surgeries, from soft tissue to some orthopedics.

Student Housing (include costs, amenities, pet friendly, contact info if different from elective contact info)

Some housing may be available depending on time of year.
