Williamstown Animal Hospital, Inc., WV

Description of Elective Experience

The student will gain experience in a typical small animal veterinary practice.  

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.

I have 1 registered veterinary technician and 8 veterinary assistants.  I have digital radiology and access to a radiology referral service to read films.  I have the full in-house Idexx equipment, K-laser, ultrasound machine, and high-speed dental unit.  I am currently researching to purchase a dental xray machine.  

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

M-F 8:00am to 5:30pm.    Sat 8-12N.   

Of course, these hours are only approximate.  We do have a local after-hours emergency clinic that is currently open about 70 percent of the time, so there would be the occasional emergency call.  The student would have a day off per week.
