Small Animal Behavior Clinic

Catalog description

This is an elective clinical rotation in small animal behavioral medicine. Clinics are Monday to Thursday. Appointments are also seen on Fridays, and students are invited, but not required, to join us. Students are primarily responsible for two cases every week, but must actively participate in all case rounds. Out-patient behavior clinic appointments are scheduled at approximately 2-3 hour intervals. Each student is responsible for reviewing behavior notes from CSR 1 and 2, priorto his/her first scheduled clinic. Students are required to attend all case rounds, review records before rounds, and be prepared to present all cases. Students will assist with medical and behavioral history-taking, physical examination, and diagnosis, and are responsible for selecting handouts and writing a discharge letter summarizing the recommendations made. Participation in topic rounds and journal club, and a project presentation are required.
