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

Ms Johnston will be exposed to all aspects of our practice and will be expected to participate in anything we do.  She will be afforded the opportunity to perform any service we provide.  She well interact with clients including gathering of information, making recommendations, and following up on progress of patients.  This will all be done under the direct supervision of one of our Veterinarians.  Our office hours are 8am to 5:30pm M-F and 8am to noon on Saturday.  We provide after hour services for our clients and refer our non clints to a local after hour facility.  Our services to livestock clients require that we start at 6:30 am because of the travel time necessary.  Ms Johnson will be expected to be onsite during normal office ours and available after hrs for emergency services.
