We are a busy practice located Carroll County Ohio approximately 45min. SE of Akron, Ohio. Our location provides students with a more rural practice type and clients that are not looking for a referral. The practice treats primarily dogs, cats, and horses with the occasional other species seen on an individual basis. There are currently 3 full-time doctors to learn from. One clinician treats only dogs and cats with a personal interest in orthopedic surgeries. One clinician treats only horses with a personal interest in Equine dentistry. One clinician treats all species with a personal interest in Equine reproduction and podiatry. Two of our clinicians are also dually trained in chiropractic and acupuncture with the practice providing those services on a regular basis. Our practice offers a unique blend of species and interests for a student to learn from with warm-small town clientele.

The Forever Vets externship program is designed to assist veterinary students in the exciting, albeit challenging, transition from university medicine to general practice. Externs will gain hands-on experience in small animal and exotic internal medicine, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, pathology, emergency response, leadership, client communication and more as they partner with a multitude of experienced mentors who specialize in differing areas of medicine. They will have the opportunity to identify and improve upon their personal strengths, weaknesses and interests as they practice in our nine general practice clinics and our new urgent care hospital. Students will not only build a strong foundation in clinical skills with an involved approach to training, but they will also have the unique opportunity to collaborate with and to direct varying teams of support staff. Forever Vets hospitals are open seven days a week with extended hours, providing externs with any number of hours required by their university's curriculum. Our structure incorporates case study reviews, personalized follow-ups, and continuing education opportunities with both our medical director and owning veterinarian. Forever Vets' mission to create a positive impact in the community extends beyond Jacksonville's borders; we strive to advance the field of medicine and grow the next wave of veterinary pioneers.
