Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery

Catalog description

The care of surgical patients is best accomplished by a team of caregivers working to provide the best possible care. YOU are an integral and responsible part of that team. The Soft Tissue and Oncologic Surgery Rotation manages patients with disease of all systems. During this rotation, you will develop your history gathering and physical examination skills, strengthen your abilities to problem solve in these types of cases, be involved in the surgical process and post-operative care of the patients managed by the service, and participate in the communications with the clients. This will be achieved by integrating YOU into the patient care team together with the clinicians, technicians and staff, and giving YOU responsibility for making an assessment, developing a plan, interpreting diagnostic information, assisting in surgery, and making management decisions that optimize patient comfort and outcome.
