Come experience daily life in a privately owned general practice with an experienced small animal team. Students will be immersed in case management, client communication, discussion of a spectrum of care approach to cases, dental, and surgical procedures. You will leave this externship with an understanding of daily life in general practice, how to navigate common client communication challenges, and an appreciation for the role of the veterinary team. Your externship will be led by Dr. Kate Boatright, a veterinarian with years of small animal GP and ER experience who has mentored numerous students and new graduate veterinarians. As the author of the Veterinary Mentorship Manual, regular contributor to veterinary publications, and speaker at veterinary schools and conferences around the U.S, Dr. Boatright enjoys teaching and facilitating learning in the clinic.

We are the newest hospital in a well established group of clinics in Buffalo NY. This includes our clinic, North Buffalo Animal Hospital, as well as Ellicott Street Animal Hospital and West Side Pet Clinic, the first and only low cost clinic in WNY. We currently have 2 full time DVMs that consider us their home base, and 3 rotating doctors shared between the clinics. We are a general practice seeing dogs and cats, providing preventative care and well as diagnostic visits, dentistry and surgery (including orthopedics!). We currently see appts 5 days a week, and have surgery on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but hope to be up to 4 surgery days by next year. Students will spend time with DVMs with varying experience and interests, participating in general exams, treatment planning and execution, and surgery, as well as experience running lab work with our LVTs.
Students shadow senior clinicians during daily rounds, for appointments and procedures. Students encouraged to participate in case management discussion with clinicians, perform physical examinations, participate in procedures when able, and are expected to take advantage of our in house library and online resource library to deepen their knowledge and develop insight into the cases they are seeing.
This will be a clinical experience focusing on small animal medicine, specifically urgent/emergency care.
