Companion Animal Hospital is a 4.5 veterinarian small animal hospital. We have a large support staff including CVTs, veterinary assistants, and client service representatives. There are two sections of our hospital: out-patient (appointments) and in-pateint (ICU: hospitalized patients and surgeries). Students will shadow either the appointment doctor or the ICU doctor each day and be responsible for SOAPing patients with the doctor, including a list of problems and differential diagnoses. Communication, both with clients and staff, will be emphasized. On ICU days, students will also assist the doctor during surgical, dental, and medical procedures. Students will be involved with drug dose calculation, radiographic interpertation, endocrine assay interpretation, dental charting, and surgical procedures.
