Verden Veterinary Clinic, OK

Description of Elective Experience: 

I hope a Ohio State University veterinary student can bring knowledge to my practice.  I also hope it is a learning experience for any .  I hope a Ohio State University veterinary student finds that we have a lot of knowledge here at the clinic and it will assist any student in becoming a great large animal veterinarian in the future. 

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

Verden Veterinary Clinic has 5 veterinarians.  We are a busy mixed, primarily large animal practice.  We try and make decisions based on data and facts.  The clinic is equipped with 1 hydraulic chute and alleyway, 1 manual chute, and 1 calf table.  The clinic has an ultrasound machine, digital radiography, AVI Mark computer software as well as other technology to practice veterinary medicine.  The clinic also has a referral lab that performs PI-BVD testing and blood pregnancy testing.  The clinic has great support staff that have all been here several years and are willing to help.

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

I would hope a Ohio State University veterinary student  would work when the clinic is open (M-F 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sat. 8:00 AM to Noon) and assist in taking emergency at other hours.  I would hope that a veterinary student would be a hands on person, in that they would want to engage in the practice of veterinary medicine and we could stand by and assist and teach every veterinary student.  

Student Housing (include costs, amenities, pet friendly, contact info if different from elective contact info): 

Each veterinary student would be staying at my house with my wife and I.  This has worked well in the past for other veterinary students that we have had come in and work.  I will be responsible that each veterinary student is fed.  I do not house pets at my house.
