We are committed to the responsibilities of training new veterinarians in the field of small animal practice and exposing them to as much clinical experience as possible. We round daily with all services to provide the most complete patient assessment and positive learning environment for the externs. Externs work closely with specialists and experienced emergency clinicians diagnosing and treating complex cases. Externs typically have extensive one-on-one time with the specialist. In addition to hands on learning, externs are involved in weekly didactic lectures, journal club and Morbidity & Mortality rounds that is a part of our rotating internship program to provide additional learning opportunities. We also give monthly CE lectures to regional veterinarians and technicians, and externs are encouraged to attend.
