We are a small animal general practice with two and a half full time equivalent veterinarians. We see routine annual exams as well as sick visits and have the capability of offering digital radiography, digital dental radiography, ultrasound, video otoscopy, and in house labwork. The student would gain a wide range of experiences in general small animal practice and various routine and non routine surgeries (OVH, castration, abscesses, dentals and extractions, mass removals, exploratory laparotomy, etc). All doctors are willing and excited to teach eager participants.
We expect students to be eager to learn and show an enthusiasm for the profession. They must be willing to pitch in and help with even the most mundane of tasks. Their primary responsibility would be to shadow the doctor and learn and provide assistance where needed. In return, we would do our best to explain critical thinking and working through our differential diagnoses.
