VMC 988 - Special Species MD

Institution:

North Carolina State University

Subject:

Veterinary Medicine

Description:

This senior year two-week clinical course (half CVM-based, half private practice) provides practical experience in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease in privately owned fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, rodents, lagomorphs, and other small mammals. This rotation is designed to combine clinical training in avian and herptile medicine at the CVM with clinically based special species medicine and surgery in private practice. Students will normally spend the first week at the CVM (3 days avian; 2 days herptile). During the second week students will split and visit different practices in the Triangle area. Case responsibility will be assigned to individual students by the course instructor(s) as appropriate in the practice setting. In some cases students will also be seeing pet domestic mammals, depending on the clinic and caseload for the particular day. Irregular and/or long hours are not expected but may be required in unforeseen circumstances. Weekend duties are not routinely required. Students will be expected to be neatly dressed, well groomed, and conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.
