Big Rock Veterinary Hospital is a full service general practice that is community oriented and client focused.  We place emphasis on client education, internal medicine, dentistry and soft tissue surgery.  We also provide urgent care during business hours.  Students rotate through each aspect of the hospital under the supervision of a mentoring DVM.   Students will not only shadow the doctors in exam rooms  but also be able to perform hands on duties such as physical examinations, Needle aspirates, and blood draws.  Students will be an integral part in client communication during the appointment as well as for follow up care and bloodwork interpretation afterwards.    Under the supervision of the mentoring DVM students will be able to perform dental local blocks and extractions as well as perform soft tissue surgeries such as spays, neuters and mass removals.  The mentoring DVM's at Big Rock want students to gain practical clinical experience they can take with them post graduation.   Big Rock is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9-7 pm.  Tuesday, Friday and Saturday 9-5.  Students will work 4-5 days a week averaging 32-40 hours including 1 evening and weekend where applicable.
