Northwest Equine Performance, OR

Description of Elective Experience: 

Northwest Equine Performance (NWEP) is an equine sports medicine clinic and advanced diagnostic imaging center located in Mulino, Oregon. Our knowledgable veterinarians evaluate the whole horse, not just the suspected injury, when developing a treatment and rehabilitation program for your horse. We work very closely with owners and trainers to assess the horse throughout the recovery period and provide detailed rehabilitation protocols specifically designed for each horse individually, not just the injury in general. The advanced diagnostic center includes radiography, ultrasound, CURO, upper airway endoscopy, nuclear scintigraphy (bone scan) and a standing MRI. We have the ability to combine our detailed lameness exams with whatever diagnostic imaging necessary to find you an answer. We also offer the best and most up to date treatment options available in equine sports medicine today. We pride ourselves on being informed and involved in the constantly changing field of orthobiologics and regenerative medicine. Our veterinarians work closely with human orthopedic and regenerative medicine specialists to provide you with the best treatment options available for your horse. The end result is a unique approach to each case, allowing flexibility to meet the specific needs of each horse and rider team. Let our team help keep your team in the game! 

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

We are a sports medicine practice with imaging of MRI and bonescan for horses.  We have digital imaging for xrays and ultrasounds. We do lameness exams with up-to-date treatment and imaging for diagnosis.  We provide the most current treatments out there such as bonemarrow, stem cell, prp, shockwave, arthamid and many others.  We also perform pre purchase exams. 

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

We are open M-F 9-5 of course we work with animals so the time can be adjusted daily if needed for exams and imaging.  Our expectation of students is to be professional and support the staff or doctor when asked.  Shadowing is typically the first couple days so we can get a feel of how comfortable they are in holding horses and restraining them as needed.  We encourage them to get a chance to be involved in all exams from start to finish and ask questions when it's appropriate.  We would encourage them to look at imaging and be a part of all conversations with clients to know how to speak to clients about treatment plans and all situations.  We want them to feel like they are learning and getting experience at the same time.

Student Housing (include costs, amenities, pet friendly, contact info if different from elective contact info): 

We don't provide housing.  Neighboring apartment above a barn is avail for small fee.
