College of Veterinary Medicine

This is a high volume practice that is in its 3rd year of opening (we saw over 6500 horses in 2010) with a tremendous learning opportunity. Students will be allowed hands on depending on their ability, work ethic, and interpersonal skills with clients. The opportunity to learn by watching is exceptional.

We have two specialists here at the hospital:

• Dr. Honnas is a Board certified surgeon.
• Dr. Nick Millichamp is a Boarded ophthalmologist.

• We do have journals and several equine books available.
• Computer and internet is available.
• We walk through the barn every morning and evening to discuss the cases.

They will be expected to organize and perform treatments on hospitalized patients under supervision of resident, help veterinarians with emergency duty and overnight monitoring of patients. Assist veterinarians in daily exam, diagnosis, and treatment of sports medicine cases and in surgery. We treat preceptors as colleagues with supervision.

The student will have direct access with both veterinarians approximately 12 hours per day during the week days and 8 hours per day for Saturday and Sunday.
