Grady Veterinary Hospital, OH

Description of Elective Experience: 

We have a 24 hour veterinary hospital.  During the day we operate as a traditional hospital seeing routine and non-routine cases(vaccines, dermatitis etc...).  We see quite a few emergency walk ins during the day also.  In the evening(after 7pm) we transition to an emergency hospital and everything is walk in only.  We have an in house lab with 2 Med Techs running it, digtal x-ray and ultrasound, digital dental x-ray with multiple high speed units, endoscopy and a traveling surgeon who handle our more involved surgeries.  A typical externship involves some time on day shift, some time spent on weekend shift and some time spent on overnight/emergency shifts.  We try to expose the students to all aspects of our practice.

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

We have 11 doctors on staff

Access to VIN, textbooks and journals

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

We expect someone motivated, professional and interested in learning but we also hope to pick up some new ideas from students.  We typically schedule them for 50-60 hours/week.
