Offsite Electives

Our small animal hospital caters to a wide variety of clients from college aged students to senior citizens. Our facility treats both dogs and cats and offers boarding services as well. While at our practice students would work directly with the veterinarian in examining, diagnosing, and treating animals presented for examinations as well as assisting during surgical procedures. Ultimately the goal of an externship at our facility would be to have the student have direct examination and diagnostic evaluation of patients while the veterinarian would support the student and provide feedback and immediate evaluation of the student's SOAP. Our tight-knit staff loves to educate and learn from one another. 

Will center around instruction in an exotic animal practice focusing on avian, reptile and small mammals. This clinic also routinely sees chelonians and amphibians.

Mixed animal practice being 75% small animal. External will be able to help with small animal wellness and sick animal appointments as well as accompany doctors on farm calls. 5 doctor practice. 

Exposure to a busy practice with food animal, exotics, small animal, and shelter medicine care.  Utilizing laser surgery, cold therapy laser, digital radiographs, ultrasound, etc. and laboratory diagnostics to care for our patients in a small town and farming area.

Focus on Bovine feedlot and cow/calf production medicine

Our Goal is to get you as much hands on experience as possible in palpation, calvings, c-sections, calf processing, internal medicine and general herd health. 8 months out of the year we are taking portable hydraulic chutes into the country where you can get a first hand experience working with the ranchers and cattle. The big advantage we have is our small animal part of the clinic is busy year round so you can get the feel for what a true mixed practice feels like, we are 50% small and 50% large animal.

Mixed animal practice -  dairy, beef, companion animal predominent. Small amout of equine, small ruminant.

The internship will consist of daily herd health management, preventive medicine (husbandry practices and vaccination), diagnosis, treatment and gathering a clinical history to solve problems for swine producers.  There will also be exposure to Pork Quality Assurance, Judicious Antibiotic Use and Welfare Audits.  

Rural mixed animal practice with several surgeries daily, and small animal appointments. Large animal OB work, including calvings and pregnancy checking. We also cover a sale barn and work a lot of cattle in the spring and fall. 

We are a unique opportunity!  We are a full service general practice, BUT we also do HQHVSN.  We also do about 50% shelter/rescues/TNR. There is plenty of surgery experience to be had!  However, there is also general medicine and even some shelter medicine. We are currently a very busy two doctor practice with a large support team.
