Everhart Veterinary Medical Group, MD

Description of Elective Experience: 

Everhart Veterinary Medical Group is a multi-location, multi-disciplinary group of small animal exclusive, privately owned veterinary hospitals located in Baltimore, Maryland. We have three practice locations each with their own identity and areas of specialization while keeping the neighborhood clinic feel and core values consistent across all locations. All practice locations see general practice/scheduled appointments, urgent and hospitalized cases, routine and advanced surgical as well as full-service dentistry cases. Our WellPet-Pasadena location offers rehab with underwater treadmill, and our WellPet-Cross Keys location is recently Fear Free certified.  

Externs will be assigned a primary mentor but work with many different veterinarians according to the extern’s schedule and personal interests. The externship experience is meant to be a look into the daily life of a busy veterinary practice. During an externship with Everhart, students will shadow one of our many DVMs during weekday shifts (or weekend if the extern chooses) for an expected 36-40hrs per week. Shifts are flexible according to students' interests and availability (surgery, dentistry, urgent care, evening appointments, etc). Student externs will not have primary case responsibility during the externship but will shadow and assist in case workups alongside the primary DVM. Externs are expected to arrive on time, dress in scrubs, and follow Everhart Core Values while a member of our team. A small stipend is provided to assist in housing and transport during the students time at Everhart. 

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

Each hospital is fully staffed with both RVTs and Veterinary Assistants. Hospital have multiple DVMs on staff at any given time. Our DVMs seeing scheduled appointments typically have 2-3 technicians, while DVMs managing urgent care/hospitalized cases are provided with 3-5 technicians depending on the day/shift. Each practice location has oxygen support, digital radiograph (including oral radiographs),and in-house lab diagnostics with ultrasound capability.
