You will have the opportunity to observe and participate in surgeries, routine client exams, reproduction and more. You will work with different doctors on different levels of capacity. Surgeries may vary from regular spays and neuters to laporoscopic procedures, surgical A.I.'s and C-Sections. You will also have the opportunity to see our emergency side of things. We are open 24/7 and have staff here all the time.
Daily equine ambulatory externship. Ability to go on routine and emergency calls to farms, part-time surgeon/elective case load, internal medicine specialist 1x/month visits, local opthalmologist available and a moderate-high load of dentistry.

The practice consists of 7 DVM's working in a diverse environment; students may preview the day's schedule and choose the experiences they wish to be involved with. The practice is 40% commercial kennel, 25% pet practice, 35% large animal with a very heavy regulatory and surgical case load in all areas.
Mixed animal practice. Mostly cattle & equine, with some caprine, camelids, etc...
The experience consists of observing and participating in veterinary diagnostic lab procedures with emphasis on avian species (mainly poultry and wildlife). The procedures include client interviews for histories, blood collection, gross post mortem exams, histopathology and other supporting tests including serology, bacteriology, parasitology, molecular biology. Field trips to sites such as farms, hatcheries, processing plants, off-site meetings may be incorporated as schedules allow.
Our goal is for the student to gain real world experience with small animal medicine and surgery. We will push the student to step out of their comfort zone and not simply follow our doctor around. We will arrange for some surgeries from our local shelter to help gain more experience in spays and neuters. Gaining time in communicating with the clients is important and one we think can be difficult for students.
Anoka Equine offers two week extenships to veterinary students throughout the calendar year. Externs will be assigned daily to one of our doctors for both in-clinic and ambulatory appointments.. Doctors will go over procedures and diagnostic techniques of the cases that are seen that day. Externs will be scheduled with all of our doctors (schedule permitting) to gain a broad learning experience. . Hands on experience is common, though depends on the experience of the student.

Local (to Ohio State) small animal hospital. The goal of the rotation is to expose and expand students' knowledge of a wide variety of animals in a private practice setting. Caseload is 50% cat/dog and 50% exotic animals including (but not limited to): exotic companion mammals (rabbitts, ferrets, rats, hamsters, etc), avian (fom small budgies to large macaws), reptiles (snakes, turtles, lizards, etc), and non-tradional species (skunks, racoons, raptors, invertebrae, aquatic species). Also associated with the Ohio Wildlife Center, so some wildlife and rehab medicine is performed. Most students choose this rotation to prepare for seeing exotic animals after graduation. You do not need to have any experience with exotic animals to take this rotation, although prior experiences will certainly help.
Clinical experience in a mixed animal private practice. With exposure to small animal and dairy medicine and surgery. Kelsey will be expected to go on farm calls and observe in the small animal clinic.
Students will be exposed to all aspects of a rural mixed animal practice. We are a very busy 2 1/2 doctor practice. A large portion of our business is small animal, but one veterinarian is an exclusive large animal practitioner.
Student will be allowed to assist and even perform some basic surgery and routine care depending on student's level of experience.
We are not a fancy practice, but we are very hands on and press upon the student the need to use their skill set to come up with a diagnostic plan and possible treatment options by using their minds and exam skills before moving on to diagnositics. ie.. we come up with a list of possible causes before we move onto further baseline test... bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal, radiology, etc.
If you are looking for CT scans and MRI options, this practice is not for you.
