Description of Elective Experience:

Our Undergraduate Intern Program was established in 2004.  We are hoping to find students for our hospital (surgery/ medicine/ sports medicine), our equine reproduction center (ERC); and our ambulatory department (ambulatory students must commit to working from mid-January to mid-June). Although you may be exposed to all of the departments during your internship, you should expect to consistently work in only one of these areas. Spring internships will run from approximately mid-January through the mid-May.  Summer internships run mid-May through mid-July. 

The internship will concentrate on surgery, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, theriogenology, emergency medical/surgical care, sports medicine, general medicine, and herd health.   Students will receive training in basic handling and restraint, and will develop a set of general veterinary technician skills including, but not limited to: preparing patients for procedures, surgical scrub, x-ray plate orientation, foal restraint, drawing up medications, administrating medications, and monitoring patient’s vitals.

It is our intent that this opportunity will fulfill the practical experience requirements necessary for each student’s area of study, any personal goals that the students have for the internship and provide a realistic and relevant exposure to equine medicine.

Description of Elective Experience:

We strive to provide a positive working enviroment hoping the individuals on externships will become better diagnosticians , more knowledgeable surgeons, and have better communication skills to outline their treatment plans. I hope by providing a positive experience working at a veterinary hospital that once they become veterinarians they will reciprocate the gesture  to future veterinary students and veterinarians.
