This externship offers ample opportunity for motivated students to gain hands on experience in ultrasound, palpation, field surgeries (i.e. laceration repair, castrations etc), sport horse medicine/lameness, chiropractic, radiology, working horse medicine, herd health management, internal medicine, sales work, and international export in addition to triage/emergency medicine. We are willing to work with individual students to help tailor their experience (as much as possible) towards their area of interest.

 

Because we are a busy ambulatory practice, the expected hours vary and can range from 40-80 hours weekly with opportunities for more experience managing field emergencies with the veterinarian on call during weeknights and weekends. The most common emergencies our practice sees include colics, exertional rhabdomyolysis, infectious diseases (i.e. Strangles), acute onset neurologic conditions (i.e. WNV, EEE, tetanus), and traumatic injuries (i.e. hit by car, fractures, cuts). A typical day consists of a mixture of sale work, lameness, emergencies, routine vaccinations/Coggins/dentals, chiropractic, internal medicine and reproduction.

Everhart Veterinary Medical Group is a multi-location, multi-disciplinary group of small animal exclusive, privately owned veterinary hospitals located in Baltimore, Maryland. We have three practice locations each with their own identity and areas of specialization while keeping the neighborhood clinic feel and core values consistent across all locations. All practice locations see general practice/scheduled appointments, urgent and hospitalized cases, routine and advanced surgical as well as full-service dentistry cases. Our WellPet-Pasadena location offers rehab with underwater treadmill, and our WellPet-Cross Keys location is recently Fear Free certified.  

Externs will be assigned a primary mentor but work with many different veterinarians according to the extern’s schedule and personal interests. The externship experience is meant to be a look into the daily life of a busy veterinary practice. During an externship with Everhart, students will shadow one of our many DVMs during weekday shifts (or weekend if the extern chooses) for an expected 36-40hrs per week. Shifts are flexible according to students' interests and availability (surgery, dentistry, urgent care, evening appointments, etc). Student externs will not have primary case responsibility during the externship but will shadow and assist in case workups alongside the primary DVM. Externs are expected to arrive on time, dress in scrubs, and follow Everhart Core Values while a member of our team. A small stipend is provided to assist in housing and transport during the students time at Everhart.

Course Objectives: - Advance the student’s understanding of Small Animal (canine and feline) dental anatomy. - Demonstrate competence with performing and interpreting small animal dentistry diagnostics including probing/charting and dental radiography. - Development of hands-on small animal dental therapeutic skills including dental extraction, dental blocks, oral biopsy and root planing. - Participation in anesthesia training consisting of simulated canine and feline anesthesia episodes. - Development of skills to practice an integrated approach to dental patient care in a clinical practice. - Involvement in clinical dentistry case management and client communication.

Each student will be assigned a HVP practice. They should arrive Monday April 3rd at 8:00 am to their assigned practice. During this week they will shadow their assigned mentor throughout their clinical cases. Participation in the clinical cases will vary. It will be determined by the HVP veterinary mentor, and may be limited based on patient and student safety. There will be no more than 1 student assigned to each practice.

At Patterson Veterinary Hospital, the student will be assigned two dental cases per day.  Under supervision of a veterinarian and licensed veterinary technician, the student will review the patient history, conduct a history and physical exam, consult with the owner, and check in the patient.  The student will then create an anesthetic plan, direct the anesthesia and monitoring conducted by a licensed veterinary technician.  They will obtain and interpret full mouth digital radiographs of each patient and complete a thorough oral examination of the patient under anesthesia. All dental charting will be done in AVIMARK.  The student will create a dental care plan based on the radiographs and examinations, to include prophy and any necessary extractions.  They will complete the procedure and recover the patient.  The student will then prepare discharge instructions, complete any charting, and discharge the patient.  They will then be expected to write a brief case report and present it the following morning during dental rounds with the attending veterinarian.
