We are a newly remodeled facility. We have six exam rooms, a large treatment area, a surgical suite, along with seperate dog and cat wards. We service a large clientele of mostly dogs and cats. We do all in-house labs with Idexx CBC Procyte and Catalyst, that offer telemedicine capabilities. We have digital radiology and will be getting an ultrasound machine in the near future. We offer full dental cleanings and extractions. There is a comference room for students/doctor case review. Student housing is available. We are also one of two clinics that students would have access to work at with both having the same equipment. The clinic has full clinic alarm system for added security and safety. The future plan is to make this a 24 hour hospital when staffing allows. The website has not been updated yet. It will be after the first of the year.

Assessments: The student will be assessed subjectively throughout the rotation and briefed about his performance by his preceptor at the end of every week of the rotation. Such assessments are to include: base knowledge of subject matter, development of subject matter expertise, proficiency of epidemiological skillset, work efficiency, effective communication, and professional conduct."
Daily Schedule: The student will participate in weekly, or bi-weekly, calls or online video meetings with the project team to discuss daily and weekly objectives, with additional calls as needed. The timing of these meetings may vary according to the schedule of staff members. Objectives may include tasks dealing directly with team members' needs, or they may include tasks specific to the student's responsibilities within the project, such as data management and analysis. As the entire EpiX staff is working primarily remotely, student learning and engagement will be self-driven, but the collaborative and communicative culture of EpiX should be appreciated, with the student striving to contribute to a productive work environment. Email and messaging app (Microsoft Teams) updates to the project supervisor at regular and short intervals are encouraged early on in the internship while workflow is established.
