Students will have the opportunity to work along veterinarians in a cattle practice in Southern Idaho.  Daily herd checks on large scale western dairies of upto 10,000 cows will allow students to palpate over 300 cows per day.  Exposure to individualized sick cows, obstetrical work, and emergency work will also be performed. Students will also have the opporturnity to assist in embryo production via ova pick up and implantation.

We try not to have more than one extern at a time ... but then again - some time there may be a little overlap - and that can actually make it interesting talking w/ students from other Vet Schools.  There is no formal application - we just would like to see a resume to get an idea of the students level of experience. We try to get the Externs as involved as possible.  They Shadow the DVM's where ever they like - i.e. during exams, help w/ treatments, help w/ Surgery - usually prepping & monitoring anesthesia ... we also board a lot of exotics - so there is an opportunity to help w/ those - which further exposes them to the care of the various bird, small mammal & reptile species we care for here at Animal House.  We try to post = necropsy all that pass away to learn - and the externs can help w/ that or do them w/ our help as / if needed ... so we try to give each as much experience as possible depending on their & our level of comfort and depending on the specific animal/case. We try to round every 2 weeks or so - plus there is a local exotic groups that meet every 2-3 months and the Zoo group that meets every 4 months - so the externs are welcome to those meetings as well. Unfortunately we are not able to offer any financial support nor any help w/ housing. Hope that this helps - all the best.
