Description This rotation allows students to further hone their clinical skills in the diagnosis and management of small animal internal medicine cases. Because of the broad variety of clinical problems and disorders that are evaluated in SAIM Clinics (Urinary, Gastrointestinal, Endocrine, and Respiratory systems; Infectious Disease; Multi-systemic disorders), the two week block in the SAIM elective rotation is likely to provide case material that is complementary to that seen in the core rotation. Problem-solving abilities and strategies continue to be emphasized.

Description  Participation in case management of patients with reproductive diseases or those admitted for elective breeding management (including those seeking assisted reproductive techniques such as embryo or semen freezing, etc) or breeding soundness evaluations. The THERM service works with all species with the vast majority of clinical cases involving bovine, equine and canine species. Activities may involve field trips to local farms, OSU Finley farm and OSU Marysville clinic.

Description Our 2-3 week program is designed to provide interested third and fourth year veterinary students to a broad exposure to all facets of laboratory animal medicine and its various disciplines.
