Focus will include client interaction, patient evaluation, laboratory/ diagnostic selection and interpretation, diagnosis and treatment plan formation, and surgery. Student will be introduced to the use and application of CO2 surgical laser and therapeutic laser. Student will also garner experience regarding ultrasonography (technique and interpretation). We are located on the coast of lake Erie (Ottawa county peninsula) and are a short ferry ride from Put-In-Bay and Kelley's Island.

This is not an observational assignment. As this is a learning experience and for YOUR development as a veterinarian, you will be intricately involved in as many cases, surgeries, and clinical decisions as you can handle. We at Harborview Animal Hospital function as a highly efficient team and you will be a fully-contributing member of this team during your time here. You will be expected to be punctual, professional, and have a positive attitude.

Housing arrangements may be made through Dr. de Roziere depending on availability. Otherwise, students will need to make their own arrangements.
