Coyne Vet, IN

Description of Elective Experience: 

Under the direct supervision of a rotating team of experienced doctors students will be exposed to various methods of practice and teaching styles, helping to achieve maximum growth and potential. Typical days include assisting in case work ups, developing diagnostic plans, providing general wellness care, refining technical skills, writing medical records, expanding client communication skills, scrubbing into surgery and potentially even helping with rehab or reproductive procedures depending on the hospital.

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.: 

With our Indiana locations we have 3 hospitals relatively close to each other, allowing students the unique opportunity to spend time at just one or all 3 locations during their visit if they wish to do so. We also have a location in Western IL near Iowa. 

Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?: 

This is a paid, hands on externship - with the student and doctor working together- not a shadowing experience. The hours will be about 40/week. 

Student Housing (include costs, amenities, pet friendly, contact info if different from elective contact info): 

Limited housing is available at no additional cost. Housing is pet friendly, no charge apartment living located within certain hospitals. Pets must be pre-approved and up to date on required vaccinations. Housing, when available, is for shorter term sessions and not full summer internship programs.
