Solomon Valley Veterinary Hospital, KS

Description of Elective Experience: 

Our Goal is to get you as much hands on experience as possible in palpation, calvings, c-sections, calf processing, internal medicine and general herd health. 8 months out of the year we are taking portable hydraulic chutes into the country where you can get a first hand experience working with the ranchers and cattle. The big advantage we have is our small animal part of the clinic is busy year round so you can get the feel for what a true mixed practice feels like, we are 50% small and 50% large animal.

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

SVVH is a mixed practice employs 6 veterinarians, 2 veterinary technicians, and 10 staff members. We provide a professional, clean, fun, and affordable experience to our large client base. We stay on top of the latest advances in veterinary technology and have equipment unmatched by anyone in the area.

As a veterinarian, you will always have support staff available to help with procedures.
