We are a multi doctor practice with a support team consisting of client care, veterinary assistants, multiple RVTs, pharmacy assistant, floor coordinator, and practice manager.
We practice lead management, which incorporates input and perspectives from all team members into the decision making process for the clinic.
Monday through Friday, 35-38 hours per week. We begin with initial orientation and observation and transition to hands on care. Guidance is individualized to the extern but is always under supervision. We want the time spent to be useful to the extern so we have a plan that then gets customized to individual needs and wishes of the extern as well as the particular case load and variety that occurs during that time. No after hours care is done.
We can look into this as needed for a student not based locally.
