Students are expected to be at CEVET from Monday to Friday (some Saturdays) from 8:00 am until the completion of the day. The student will have the same responsibilities expected for a veterinary student in any AVMA acredited veterinary school. They will have primary case responsibility and will work together with attending veterinarians and veterinary technicians for the well being of all the out- and in-patients.
The student will be exposed to a large number of cases in the areas of soft stissue surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery and ophthalmology. The Surgery Department recieves new patients every morning (8:00 am to 1:00 pm) and performs surgery every afternoon. The Ophthalmology Department receives new cases on Monday and Wednesdays and performs surgery on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Students are expected to dress professionally and to wear a lab coat during receieving. Some sort of ID tag is desirable. Clean scrubs are expected for surgery.
The Medical Center for Birds is an avian-specific practice, with no other species groups included in our patient database. This preceptorship program will include primary focused duties within the avian practice as well as our diagnostic in-house laboratory. Outside consultation and visitation of zoological facilities may be scheduled as a part of this training experience. Scheduled weekly rounds will be maintained in-house for in depth discussion of avian medical cases and subject material pertinent to avian medicine and surgery, as well as numerous informal discussions on a daily basis.
The practice is open six days each week, from the hours of 9:00am to 5:00pm.
The typical four week preceptorship program for veterinary students passes quickly. There are no specific scheduled “duties” for students, and the practice is staffed with adequate support to allow students to help out, but not be necessarily scheduled as a part of the support staff during this entire period. During this time, the resident will be encouraged to assume a role of “primary” responsibility for management of clinical cases under direct supervision. These responsibilities will include meeting clients, collection of history and initial physical examination findings, recommending and defending a diagnostic set of recommendations, interpreting these findings, and making sound therapeutic recommendations for specific patients. Students will be encouraged to partcipate in daily morning in-patient rounds, and weekly journal review rounds Friday mornings. There will be direct exposure to endoscopy, endosurgical procedures, microsurgical techniques as well as common medical procedures during this entire preceptorship. During the final week of the preceptorship, students are encouraged to select a topic of interest and present a formal lecture to the staff for discussion.
Emergency and Critical Care Externship. Although we are a multi-specialty hospital, the externship is currently scheduled with only the emergency and critical care department. The extern will have an opportunity for exposure to the other specialists. This is a great opportunity for an individual to see how a multi-specialty referral and emergency hospital operates and may provide an opportunity to get to know the staff for future internship or residency possibilities.
The student will be expected to participate in daily cage-side rounds, twice weekly grand rounds (and may also participate in Intern Rounds and Resident Board Review, but this is not required). Expect to hit the ground running, spending the majority of the time with the ER receiving service. This will involve collecting a history and performing a physical exam, discussion diagnostic/therapeutic/monitoring plans with the attending DVM or specialists. The student can be involved in in house diagnostics (ultasound, advanced imaging, scoping, etc.) and will have the opportunity to scrub in for surgery as the case load allows. Discussing diagnostics, therapeutics, differentials, etc will be the focus of the externship experience.

The student experience at VSC allows students to witness and be a part of a busy multidisciplinary specialty hospital. We want students to integrate into the practice and gain an understanding of the level of medicine that is possible in private practice. For the most part, students are involved in shadowing the specialists but can have some primary responsibility (depending on the service they are on). We expect student externs to be self-motivated and engage in the discussion and questions/answers.
