Students will rotate through two hospitals that offer everything from critical care, emergency, surgery, and general wellness. Students will have the opportunity to learn in a fast-paced work environment that will provide a unique and well-rounded experience. We see a wide range of appointments including wellness, emergency, medical illness, critical care, surgical, and behavioral. Students will also rotate through surgery including spay/neuter, soft tissue, and orthopedic. We average 6-10 surgeries a day and 5-10 inpatients that students will be able to round on. We have in-house radiology which includes X-ray, ultrasound, and the only whole-body CT in northwest Ohio. Students will also be involved with Dentistry in which we utilize our CT machine for imaging. We also have many specialties including PRP, acupuncture, laser, cryotherapy, chiropractic, hydrotherapy, orthopedic and arthritic rehabilitation, and behavioral training.

Based in Chicago, the ZPP is a unique collaboration between the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine and a number of private and public entities, including Brookfield Zoo, Lincoln Park Zoo, and Shedd Aquarium. Externs conduct gross necropsies and microscopic evaluation of diagnostic cases in conjunction with residents and staff pathologists. Background reading and research for diagnostic cases is expected of externs as is participation in weekly gross and histopathology seminars. A small retrospective project is completed during the externship using archived materials. Daily schedules are determined by the current day’s caseload. Whenever possible, participation in necropsies is the priority. Teaching sets of classic non-domestic animal gross and histologic lesions are available for study as are copies of important published papers and literature. The ZPP has a full library of reference texts and archives of case material that are available for individual study if interest and time permit.
The primary purpose of our Veterinary Student Externship is to provide a hands-on learning experience for 3rd and 4th year students who are enrolled in Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program.

We feel that the students who possess an open mind and a willingness to learn will benefit the most from our externship.
