Small Animal private practice with high Surgical (Soft tissue and Orthopedic) case load

The student will observe in a specialty referral dentistry and oral surgery practice.  The student will receive instruction on oral examination, dental radiography interpretation, and treatment planning.  

We are a full service high volume General Practice with surgical/dental and emergency medicine.  We are open 7 days a week and always have a full caseload and provide 24 hour hospitalization.  This setting will provide an in depth and thorough experience into General Practice and will provide the opportunity to gain surgical and dental experience and to work side by side with up to 6 different veterinarians.  The student will also be able to see numerous cases per day and have the ability to develop a diagnostic and treatment plan, as well as maintain client communication.   They will learn how to efficently multi-task and get a prime experience into their career path.

The student will have the opportunity to shadow DVM in a busy, small animal practice in surgery, dentistry and appointments. As opportunities arise we will allow student to work up problem cases and develop treatment plans undern the guidance of the DVM.

Student will have rounds on particular cases including but not limited to medicine, dermatology, surgery, anesthesia, ophthalmology. Shadowing in rooms to evaluate client-doctor relationship building and structural guidance on communication with owners, staff, and future colleagues. Surgical opporunities (spays, neuters, cystotomies, lacerations, etc) will also be provided for student to practice, under owner discretion and student comfort. 

Students are exposed to and participate in diagnostics, treatments, and client communication in all aspects of pet medicine.  Additionally, we are typically able to provide opportunities for students to be lead surgeon on routine procedures from local shelters in dogs and cats. We are the only 24 hour hospital for 90 miles, and so we see a very large case load including a variety of medical (e.g., complicated diabetic patients, trauma, respiratory emergencies, etc.) and surgical condtions (orthopedic and soft tissue). 

Students will gain field experience working in commercial turkey production.
