Our brand new state of the art facility holds 6 exam rooms, dental suite, surgery room, urgent care triage, isolation, large treatment and lab area, as well as multiple patient holding areas. Open 7 days week week, we offer both general practice alongside urgent care. This externship opportunity would give you the ability to get hands-on experience in both areas of small animal medicine within one location. In addition to GP & Urgent Care, we have multiple mobile surgeons who visit our hospital to perform more extensive procedures and orthopedic procedures.
We have 7 Registered Veterinary Technicians with many years of experience in multiple areas of focus.
Our in-house lab equipment allows us to run a plethora of testing on-site, but we are also able to send out to a reference lab for less urgent needs.
We are blessed to have many pieces of equipment for utilization including dental radiology and ultrasound.
Our expectation of students wishing to spend time with us is that we want you to gain hands on experience; this means we need you to jump in, ask questions, and be involved with our cases. We will work with you on proper diagnosing and treatment but ask you to be very involved with coming up with these. Initially you will shadow our other doctors until you get a better idea of our workflow. We will schedule you 4-5 days per week with some weekend urgent care shifts as well, but you are not expected to work every single weekend.
Lodging is provided by Heartland Veterinary Partners. Please reach out to Megan McGorisk- Veterinary Externship Manager, to help facilitate. (mmcgorisk@heartlandvetparters.com)
