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

Students coming in to our hospital would mostly follow our medical director, Dr. Tod Beckett, he works at both our hospital and at VCA Sawmill Animal Hospital, therefore a candidate would travel to both practices with him. Dr. Beckett spends about 25 hours per week at each clinic seeing appointments and performing surgeries. During a students time with us their schedule would look like the following:

Monday- At VCA Sawmill in the morning doing surgery, VCA Mill Run in the evening for appointments

Tuesday- At VCA Mill Run seeing appointments and then surgery.

Wednesday- At VCA Sawmill most of the day.

Thursday- At VCA Mill Run most of day. Surgery in the am, appointments in the pm.
