This rotation will require students to spend a continuous block functioning as primary care practitioners. Students, under the supervision of veterinarians, will work in groups of two and will have primary responsibility for all aspects of primary care for dogs, cats, and exotics in the CVM's Companion Animal Clinic. Students will be scheduled to see patients and do procedures comparable to a high-functioning small animal primary care practice. There will also be designated daily times for teaching rounds. Students will follow up on their cases, maintain their patient medical records, prescribe treatments and diets, and provide wellness/preventive medicine services.
