Single doctor new startup providing companion animal wellness and chronic disease care as well as starting dental and surgical care in Feb '21. We see a mix of well and sick visits and have a diverse clientele allowing use of problem solving skills in budget constrained situations and high quality medical practice with other clients. In addition to traditional training, owner of the practice is Chi certified in acupuncture and the practice is Fear Free Certified. Extern will be able to discuss cases with the doctor, examine patients develop diagnostic and treatment plans, and assist in dentistry and surgery. For those interested, there is also discussion of the financial side of starting and running a practice.
Minor and Mayor Surgery
Student will follow vet in all daily activities including but not limited to shadowing in surgery, participating in client education, and observing how daily flow of surgeries and appointments is performed. Student will also have limited hands on experience in case management (drug calculations, pharmaceutical selection) and performing tasks with patients (IV catheter placement, intubation of animals, adminsitering vaccines and medications).
We are a busy mixed animal practice in a rural setting. This is a true "rural, country hospital". Students would have amply opportunity for large and small animal medicine and surgery. We have modern equipment and lots of employees to help in all areas. We also try to include some involvement in the business aka reception area of the clinic to give a rounded tour of what happens in this type of business.
Work alongside shelter veterinarians at the ASPCA Cruelty Recovery Center, caring for canine victims of natural or man-made disasters.
Service learning - service & outreach
Very busy small animal practice with quality medicine and amazing staff
Students will spend time rotating with different doctors in the practice on their appointment days and surgery days. They will get hands on experience with physical examinations and diagnosis and treatment plans with their assigned DVM. Surgery days will consist of a mix of dental, elective, and advanced soft tissue procedures. One surgeon routinely performs orthopedic procedures.
We like our externs to be as hands on as possible. Typically the extern will shadow one of the doctors for the first week and then the doctors will shadow the extern for the remainder of the visit.
At Lindsay Wildlife Experience, externs will gain experience in both wildlife and captive animal medicine. The first few days will consist of shadowing the veterinarians or technicians in both areas, and externs are expected to become familiar with the basics, including anatomy, triage, and handling. Depending on student performance, subsequent weeks will allow the student to hone their skills through assisting the veterinarians. There may also be opportunities to attend didactic classes and participate in journal club.
Veterinary students may also assume primary case responsibilities, including triage examinations, forming treatment plans, and performing common procedures (including fecals, manual WBC, phlebotomy, and time permitting, laceration repairs, and surgical procedures) under the direct supervision of one of the veterinarians or registered technicians. These will depend on the caseload as well as the student’s preferences.
Our caseload at LWE consists of birds (the majority of our patients, including songbirds and birds of prey), mammals (including squirrels, opossums, raccoons, bobcats, coyotes, and beavers), and herps (snakes, lizards, salamanders, and frogs).
