PetWOW, KY

PetWOW is a small animal practice which combines traditional stationary practices with a fleet of mobile vehicles that serve the Greater Cincinnati Area. In business for nearly 50 years, PetWOW’s externship program focuses on the application of veterinary medical theory to real life situations and patients. Externs will be asked to shadow several of PetWOW’s experienced doctoral staff  and assist them with their cases throughout the day. We average 15 surgeries a day and 30-50 outpatient appointments, so externs will have the opportunity to observe and assist with a plethora of cases. We have built our reputation around extraordinary care for our clients and patients, so a passion for serving people and their pets is a must!

Students can expect the following:

• Surgical shadowing experience with PetWOW's Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Aaron Stamper
• Monday – Friday hours
• Opportunities to assess cases with PetWOW’s doctoral team
• Experience discussing practice management
• Opportunities to perform tasks such as intubation, blood draws, assisting in surgical procedures and history gathering

• PetWOW also will provide a stipend for breakfast and dinner during the extern's stay; lunch will be provided while shadowing.
• Pet friendly considerations will vary depending on the owner of the Airbnb.
• If transportation from the Airbnb should be a concern due to lack of a vehicle, PetWOW will provide transportation.
