Externs are expected to help the interns in all of their duties. This includes helping with treatments during business hours as well as after-hours. Externs will assist with exams, lameness exams, taking radiographs, surgery and anesthesia. They will also assist with keeping exam rooms clean, stocking exam rooms and trucks, laundry, running lab work, cleaning surgery and insuring the library is clean and neat. Externs will also go on farm calls. If the extern has a particular area of interest (i.e. lameness, surgery, reproduction), they should make it clear to us so we can assist you in getting exposure to these areas of veterinary medicine.
It is important that the extern makes it clear to us their level of equine experience. Horses are large powerful animals and can be dangerous. We do not want to put you into a situation in which you do not feel comfortable. If at any time, you are asked to do something in which you do not feel comfortable, please make us aware. It is also important that externs do not treat a horse unless they are asked to treat a horse.
