A two-week Biological Safety Level 3 Training Program to provide introductory BSL-3 hands-on training to exemplary students in coordination with the Biosecurity Research Institute (BRI) at Kansas State University. This program is open to graduate and upper-level undergraduate students who are interested in research and careers in the field of high consequence, transboundary animal, emerging and zoonotic diseases. This program also connects students to researchers around the world to give them exposure to people, work and facilities in government, academia and industry settings to explore future careers or collaborations.
The student will experience the full range of our mixed animal practice caseload (which includes cattle, equine, small ruminant, swine, poultry & companion small animals (cats, dogs, pocket pets)), including dairy herd health visits, ambulatory sick animal calls, and in-clinic small animal appointments & surgeries.

Rx One Health participants develop skills in laboratory and research methods, ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity conservation, epidemiology, infectious disease surveillance, biosafety, biosecurity, food safety, agriculture, food security, hydrology, marine ecology, communications, community and stakeholder engagement, ethics, teamwork, and leadership.
Mentorship to furhter develop students clinical skills to practice small animal medicine in a general practive environment. Further develop confidence in creating treatment protocols, diagnose patients, client communication, and interpret labs/diagnostics.
Well rounded experience not only with in-hospital procedures and daily wellness care, but also with shelter and emergency medicine. Daily responsibilities: Assist our Veterinarians, fellow Veterinary students and technicians with medical/patient care, medication administration, sterilization of surgical equipment, proper disinfection of isolation areas, and assist in surgical procedures.
Exposure to, and training in, all aspects of small animal first-opinion paractice, with some surgical referals from the surrounding area.
Shadowing doctor and technicians at a busy small animal and exotic hospital. We see 50%+ non dog/cat patients which provides a interesting and varied caseload. A intern would be expected to see surgery and medical work ups with a variety of species. Practice management/ownership/work life balance will be also discussed.
Students will gain clinical veterinary experience maintaining captive wildlife in a zoological setting. Emphasis will be placed on preventative health programs, quarantine, clinical pathology, pathology, nutrition, behavioral enrichment, husbandry, and management of a variety of species, including mega vertebrates, hoofstock, large carnivores, non-human primates, small mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles.
Dr. Jo’s Pet Wellness & Acupuncture is an alternative specialty practice that focuses on wellness and preventative care in addition to treating illness and disease that have already been diagnosed. At Dr. Jo’s we use acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbals, homeopathy, nutrition and therapeutic laser to complement the care our patients receive at their traditional veterinarian. Our goal is to allow our patients to live their best life for as long as possible. Due to our size, we are able to provide quality, personal care to each one of our patients and clients. We do not offer traditional services for sick pets nor do we perform surgeries. We do see a small number of traditional patients for yearly or semi-annual wellness exams and services including vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention, wellness and senior blood work, etc.
Preceptors in this eight week (US) or 10-12 week (international) program will receive clinical training in captive zoological medicine, including amphibians, birds, fish, mammals (marine and terrestrial), reptiles, and invertebrates.
