Perry Veterinary Clinic (PVC) is a 34 doctor mixed animal practice serving western and central NYS. Our ambulatory service serves primarily dairies. We also see horses, small ruminants, camelids and beef cows. We have 4 companion animal clinics and see primarily cats and dogs with some doctors seeing pocket pets, rabbits and lizards. We offer three types of externship - large animal, mixed animal and companion animal. Externs will be supervised by experienced veterinarians and may participate based on their level of experience. Each externship is unique to the student. The student will be exposed to a number of doctors and will learn different approaches to a situation. Large animal externs will gain exposure/experience on farm in herd health, palpation, ultrasound, sick calls, diagnostics ultrasound, and surgery, as well as interactions with producers and owners. Companion animal externs will have exposure to client interaction, wellness appointments, sick and emergency appointments, surgery, laser therapy and diagnostics. There is also a doctor who practices acupuncture and chiropractic.

Students will have experience with soft tissue surgeries, interpretting radiographs, and working through abnormalities on bloodwork to determine the patient diagnosis.
Following the externship, students should have gaines a workable knowledgebase on clincal cases and approaches to medicine.
We are a general small animal and exotic practice. We practice high quality medicine and offer surgical procedures for both small animals, but as well as numerous surgical procedures for small companion animals like rabbits and ferrets, as well as numerous reptiles. We allow veterinary students to shadow the doctors during the examination and discussion with the owners. Given COVID, we currently are not allowing clients into the hospital, so there will be opportunity for the student to perform physical exams and make their own assessment of cases.
A large focus will be on different medications and techniques for exotic animals, since this is not a common field of study and allow the student to gain some clinical application for exotic animal medicine.

Ethos Veterinary Health (EVH) is a network of 25 emergency and specialty hospitals located across the US. Within EVH is Ethos Science Consultancy, a vertical service that functions as a contract research organization. In addition to Science Consultancy there is also Ethos Discovery, a 501(c)(3) non-profit scientific incubator through which we do our own de novo studies. The studies through Discovery are designed to result in novel diagnostics and therapeutics with planned commercialization within the veterinary market while also providing translational value to research in human medicine. Through this externship, we will be providing experience in both of these organizations. The extern will be expected to familiarize themselves with our ongoing and planned trials, the process behind the selection and design of the trials, and the commercialization efforts that are pursued.
