Prices Creek Vet Service is small but a rapidly growing rural two (should be 3) doctor practice in Lewisburg, Ohio. We are a mixed dog/cat (60%) and equine (40%) practice, with a smattering of small ruminants (1%) to keep things interesting.
Our goal is to practice high quality medicine with an emphasis on low stress handling, client education, and customer service, while maintaining a fun workplace. We have a full service small animal clinic (with an expansion in the near future) with a surgery suite, digital radiology, ultrasound, ultrasonic dental machine, and in-house lab machines. We have 4 RVTs, one RVT in training, and one Vet Assistant on staff who are all passionate about low stress handling and making meaningful relationships with our patients and clients. Most large animal appointments are seen in the field, but we do have a small haul in facility with stocks, which is nice in inclement weather. There are 2 fully stocked vet trucks, 2 varieties of power floats, portable ultrasound, and portable digital radiology available for farm calls.
Externs will work one-on-one with our veterinarians in the office and on farm calls throughout the week and will go along on after hours emergency farm calls. Externs will assist with appointments and diagnostic/treatment plans, and when deemed appropriate, may be given primary case responsibility with an attending veterinarian. Students will be allowed to assist in surgeries as appropriate.
We are open Monday 8-7, Tuesday 8-5, Wednesday 8-6, Thursday 8-5, and Friday 8-5. We also take after hours call for our clients, although ER visits are limited to large animal emergencies and minor care small animal emergencies. Students should expect to be available for the duration of the externship during business hours and to ride along to any after hours emergencies.
Housing may be available with one of our veterinarians; this is schedule dependent. If housing is not available at the time, there are AirB&B options and a Holiday Inn nearby for housing.
