UrgentVet is an outpatient, acute care practice model that was the first in the US to operate like a human urgent care. Patients are seen on a walk-in basis and examined, diagnosed, and treated in an hour or less. Students work side by side with the staff veterinarian, caring for patients suffering from a wide variety of mild illnesses and injuries. We rely on physical examination findings, point of care diagnostic testing, full in-house laboratory, and digital x-ray to develop a differential diagnoses list for patients. Cases are worked up in SOAP format on a cloud-based EMR. More than 90% of patients are treated in-house. Critical cases are referred to 24-hr specialty for ongoing hospitalization and/or surgery. The vast majority of pets recheck with their primary care veterinarian within two weeks of their UrgentVet visit. Students will become proficient at writing discharge instructions (to clients) and referral reports (to referring general practices). UrgentVet is a unique and rewarding educational experience that enhances 4th year clinical skills.
