Fourth year students rotate on the nutrition service and maintain secondary case control under the direction of a resident or a faculty member. There are currently two residents and two DACVN faculty members involved with the UT Veterinary Nutrition Service. The majority of our case load is distance-based with consultations taking place via phone or video conferencing. Students listen in on all consultations and will be expected to write up a consultation summary for at least one case from each receiving day. If fully booked, which is a common occurrence, the students will be involved with 8 new patient consultations and multiple recheck appointments each week. Topic rounds take place on a daily basis and the students will also participate in a multi-center distance-based journal club on Thursday afternoons. ICU rounds are performed on a daily basis in order to assess inpatient feeding recommendations. When applicable, students are also involved with any in-person outpatient appointments, weight loss rechecks, and consultations for other services within the hospital.
