Busy small animal suburban practice with exposure to general practice medicine including but not limited to wellness visits, vaccine protocols, general surgery, sick visits, and everything in between. We also offer advanced orthopedic surgical intervention (TPLO, tibial crest transposition) and soft tissue surgeries like perineal urethrostomies and anal sacculectomy. We have the resources to provide some shelter medicine as well if desired.
The externs will engage in any and all ER cases with a hands on approach. They will work with our ER DVM's on diagnosing emergency conditions, developing treatment plans and learning effective communication skills. Hands on skills that may be practiced include examinations, anesthesia, surgical procedures, ultrasound and catheterization.
CWVAH is a mixed animal practice located in rural WV. We serve a diverse clientele. We treat patients raining from cats, dogs, and farm animals. The student will assist the doctor with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and discussion.
The Antimicrobial Stewardship (AS) Working Group (ASWG) of the CVM-OSU oversees the Infection Control, Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP), and Diagnostic Stewardship efforts of the Veterinary Medical Center. The ASWG has also created the BuckeyeASP, which extends efforts on AS into private practice. Members of the ASWG include experts in veterinary epidemiology, pharmacologists, clinicians, and microbiologists. This elective rotation is a learning hands-on experience accomplished in a period of 2 – 4 weeks and offered to veterinary students that have an interest in infectious diseases with a focus on infection control, diagnostic and antimicrobial stewardship. Members of the ASWG will contribute with the experience. The student will follow cases that are processed by the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory having the opportunity to review cases (clinical history, selection of appropriate tests, result interpretation, and antimicrobial selection). In addition, the student will participate in activities of the ASWG and infection control efforts including a mini project on infection control. It is expected that the student will also attend microbiology rounds. It is expected the student will present the assigned case or mini project at the end of the rotation.
Students will be performing physical exams on tractable animals, will be able to practice venipuncture on awake and anesthetized animals. They will learn anesthetic monitoring, intubation and prepping skills. They will perform sterilization surgeries under the supervision of a veterinarian.
The student will have hands on experience in the real world of small animal medicine, dentistry and surgery working with clients and staff on preventative medical, internal medical, hospitalized, soft tissue surgical and dental cases. Busy east side Columbus Ohio practice that is well equipped.
Our shelter has a robust surgical and medical program - we do routine S/N surgeries plus almost any other soft tissue surgery necessary, plus a few orthopedic procedures - mainly FHOs and amputations. Additionally we have dental xray and two dental stations. We have digital xray and a two-table surgery suite.
We also opened a public clinic in a separate location in 2022 that serves 5 zip codes in Toledo, providing access to care in an urban setting.
Mission has been training future veterinarians in the practice of spectrum of care medicine as an external primary care rotation for senior students from the University of Minnesota since 2020. We know that by naming, identifying and teaching the spectrum of care approach to veterinary medicine, we can influence the next generation of veterinarians to practice in a community-centric way that increases the accessibility of veterinary medicine on a broad scale. To that end, Mission is offering a 2 week senior veterinary student externship to veterinary students from any institution starting in May 2023.
The enhanced program will include:
- Didactic instruction, including discussions and literature review, on increasing access to veterinary care, with an emphasis on social justice as the foundational framework, along with communication skills, clinical skills and case management in a resource limited environment
-
Hands-on learning opportunities:
- primary case management, overseen by a veterinarian dedicated to instruction, for urgent care cases and preventative medicine (specific opportunities are dependent on our daily schedule, but we estimate students will oversee approximately 12-18 urgent care cases and 18-24 wellness cases during the rotation)
- high-volume/high-quality spay/neuter technique (primary surgeon for minimum of 2-4 spay/neuter surgeries)
- clinical skills with an emphasis on those important to the practice of spectrum of care medicine such as evidence-based outpatient treatment protocols and emergency procedures (possible examples include: outpatient parvovirus protocol, urethral obstruction management, feeding tube placement)
- Experiential learning in a multi-service practice based on current case availability elective general surgery, emergency surgery, dentistry and DAVCS/specialty surgery where specific student involvement fluctuates based on case availability
Mission’s Veterinary Student Training Program will supplement the veterinary education received at a tertiary academic institution with valuable, practical knowledge in a private practice setting that is uniquely qualified to provide training in a spectrum of care to future veterinarians.
We are a multi-doctor and (soon to be) AAHA accredited small animal and exotics practice located in El Paso, Texas. Our goal is to practice excellent medicine and provide learning opportunities through the use of up to date technology, practicing current standards of care, and having very well training and knowledgeable team members. Dr. Dashley will also provide one to two cadaver wet labs throughout the rotation to help students practice common techniques, such as e-tube placement, enucleations, tail amputations, dental extractions, etc.
TBVS offers externships in all specialty services and emergency medicine. We welcome any length of rotation (minimum 2 weeks). Students can rotate in a single discipline or combine multiple areas during one experience. The degree of hands-on involvement varies by service and student's stage of education.
