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.

Description of Elective Experience

A lot depends on the level the student is at but we tend to give a lot of hands on experiences. The student will be with a licensed vet and work up cases and help with surgeries..They will be able to also work in our PIT pulling blood and running blood work using Idexx lab equipment. We are full service and get a very wide variety of cases on a daily bases. Students tend to see and learn a lot while working here. 

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.

We are a very high volume low cost hospital. We are very well equipped, with endoscopes, CT machine, digital x-rays,ultrasound machine, therapeutic laser and shockwave. We have a very extensive library.

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

We are open 5 days a week, can work/shadow 40 hours, we have 6 veterinarians, so plenty of experience to tap in to.
