Anoka Equine offers two week extenships to veterinary students throughout the calendar year. Externs will be assigned daily to one of our doctors for both in-clinic and ambulatory appointments.. Doctors will go over procedures and diagnostic techniques of the cases that are seen that day. Externs will be scheduled with all of our doctors (schedule permitting) to gain a broad learning experience. . Hands on experience is common, though depends on the experience of the student.

Local (to Ohio State) small animal hospital. The goal of the rotation is to expose and expand students' knowledge of a wide variety of animals in a private practice setting. Caseload is 50% cat/dog and 50% exotic animals including (but not limited to): exotic companion mammals (rabbitts, ferrets, rats, hamsters, etc), avian (fom small budgies to large macaws), reptiles (snakes, turtles, lizards, etc), and non-tradional species (skunks, racoons, raptors, invertebrae, aquatic species). Also associated with the Ohio Wildlife Center, so some wildlife and rehab medicine is performed. Most students choose this rotation to prepare for seeing exotic animals after graduation. You do not need to have any experience with exotic animals to take this rotation, although prior experiences will certainly help.
Clinical experience in a mixed animal private practice. With exposure to small animal and dairy medicine and surgery. Kelsey will be expected to go on farm calls and observe in the small animal clinic.
Students will be exposed to all aspects of a rural mixed animal practice. We are a very busy 2 1/2 doctor practice. A large portion of our business is small animal, but one veterinarian is an exclusive large animal practitioner.
Student will be allowed to assist and even perform some basic surgery and routine care depending on student's level of experience.
We are not a fancy practice, but we are very hands on and press upon the student the need to use their skill set to come up with a diagnostic plan and possible treatment options by using their minds and exam skills before moving on to diagnositics. ie.. we come up with a list of possible causes before we move onto further baseline test... bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal, radiology, etc.
If you are looking for CT scans and MRI options, this practice is not for you.

The student will also scrub in for surgical and dental procedures and discuss technique and best practices with the surgeon with an opportunity for hands-on experience when appropriate.
