The Vet Clinic East, OH

Description of Elective Experience

We are a 4 doctor general practice that has boarding, grooming, dentistry, surgery (all except orthopedics). 

The student would receive a good over view of general practice in a busy clinic. 

All four doctors are great mentors and would actively participate in educating a student to help prepare them for practice. They would involve them in the medical decision making and the thought process utilized with patient care. 

Students would have exposure to wellness and preventative care along with ill patients and surgeries (We do surgery 4 days a week). 

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.

We typically have about 25 support staff including CSRs, Vet assistants, Vet techs (3 FT, 3 PT) and kennel staff. 

We utilize digital records and AI scribing.

We have two anesthetic machines to run two surgical procedures concurrently utilizing pulse ox, Baer huggers, IV fluids w/multiple pumps. All surgical patients get IV catheters and we administer premeds prior to anesthesia and patient "comfort packages" (trazodone, gabapentin and maropitant) prior to surgeries when able and appropriate. 

We have digital xrays and dental radiology. 

We use primarily Idexx labs with some Antech. In house we have the ability to run full labs in addition to a Sedivue, Invue and multiple snap tests. 

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

Our clinic is open M-F 9am-5pm and Sat 9am-1pm. We are flexible about what hours the student would be able to attend within those parameters. All open hours would be available to the student. 

We have worked with many students previously and with several new veterinary graduates and have an enthusiastic well tenured team that enjoys what they do and enjoy seeing students get exposure to veterinary medicine. 

The two senior veterinarians have over 20 years each of experience each. A new graduate starting her 3 rd year with us lends some fresh new experience as well.
