My Internship At The Ridgefield Animal Hospital

During my placement at a small animal vets, a particularly interesting case was a Westie which had been brought in as he had great trouble breathing. An x-ray of the respiratory tract was taken and you could see a large increase in the amount of respiratory tissue and a huge reduction in lung capacity compared to an x-ray taken a year ago. Unfortunately he had to be euthanized as “Westie lung” has no cure but I learnt about the importance of diagnostic imaging. It also emphasised the role of the vet in supporting the owner as well as the patient during this time, the sympathetic tone used and the calm manner of the vets throughout this difficult consultation helped the

In addition to the typical responsibilities of a volunteer, I’ve been fortunate enough to have been allowed to observe and, to some extent, assist the on-site Veterinarian, Dr. Bijula Yusin, with some the medical procedures conducted at the Animal Shelter. This includes vaccinations, spay and neuter, and other surgical procedures. To be clear, my participation has been strictly limited to helping with surgical preparations, but each opportunity to assist or observe has been a great learning experience.

One major part of all peoples’ lives is health care, without it society would have no way of staying healthy and happy, and people would also have no way of treatment in case of an emergency. This also applies to all the pets’ lives are shared with. A certain profession is also needed to provide this care service for all of the animals. The people responsible for this service are Veterinarians. There is a lot to learn about the career of a veterinarian, including all of the schooling required, what a vet does, all of the advantages as well as the disadvantages, and the future outlook for this career.

During the summer of 2015, I interned at a local doctor’s office. My passion for working in the medical field grew tremendously. I absolutely loved the experience I received and I also got offered a job after the internship was completed. Even though I was unable to accept the job offer because of furthering my education and because of my current job, I knew my hard work and dedication had paid off. I believe my education and the experience I received has provided me with a phenomenal introduction to the heath care field.

My companion animal placement was with a program that organises the fostering and adoptions of greyhounds, often getting 30 dogs into foster homes and 30 dogs into adoptive homes every month. As such, they and the veterinary clinic they associate closely with are in charge of establishing a preventative healthcare routine for hundreds of dogs through their foster programs and attempting to persuade adopters to maintain this routine.

I decided to do my practicum at the ASANTE Ashland Community Hospital. My site supervisor is Dawn Dille, who is the volunteering coordinator there. I chose ASANTE Ashland Community Hospital as part of my practicum experience because I am interested in becoming a nurse one day. I like what ASANTE stands for and how community orientated they are. I also had previous volunteering experience there. The location is easy for me to commute back and forth between school and work.

I have never had much experience in an animal clinic before then and the first few days were overwhelming but fascinating and it made me feel like I belonged there. They knew I was passionate about the field and they pushed me to become greater than I thought I could be. It puts a huge smile on my face knowing that I reached out and they helped me put my foot through the doorway of veterinary medicine. Over time, I started to be more involved in the clinic’s procedures, and when school ended they offered me a job. I still work there to this day (and will into the future).

Learning about the behavior aspects of an animal intrigues me like no other - the way they move, why they do things that they do, their emotions, all of it. I want to gain knowledge on the medical aspects of being a Veterinarian so I can do my part in this world and help and this program will definitely help as a start with achieving my goal to work with wildlife. I’m fully aware this program needs people who are ready to put all their time and effort into learning and I am capable of doing so. As stated in my recommendations: I am eager to learn and not afraid to ask questions, ready for any challenge that comes my way, and I don’t let stressors get in my way! I hope to bring my knowledge, ambition, and passion as beneficial to the veterinary and animal community down the road and I thank you for this

I started my internship at Cook Children Healthcare System in January 2016. I selected mental health as an area of focus on which I wanted to work. Initially the learning goal was to study Community-wide Children 's Health Assessment & Planning Survey (CCHAPS) data well and look for factors causing mental health problems in six North Texas Counties. Initial task was to study as much literature as possible to get an idea what factors are causing mental health problems in children. After studying literature and CCHAPS survey data I discussed the goals and objectives of my research with supervisor Dr Jackie Meeks. I decided to work on the relation between not breastfeeding during early infancy and the development of mental health problems. I included known covariates like gender, bullying, age of the child, marital status of the parent, alcohol exposure during pregnancy, tobacco exposure during pregnancy and annual household income which are known to cause mental health problems in children. I was introduced to Mackenzie and Sheryl who are data analysts and know CCHAPS survey thoroughly. Entire Cook Children staff was very helpful and friendly. Experience at Cook Children was great in terms of learning and getting real world experience. I could not have asked for a better internship site than Cook Children. It is rated among top job in the DFW because everyone is so positive and helpful. I was hesitant initially to perform data

¨Helping vulnerable animals and keeping pets in safe and loving homes requires a commitment from all of us—advocates, pet owners, shelters, leaders, and entire communities.¨ They are animal doctors because if an animal comesentire communities.¨ They are animal doctors because if an animal comes in and it is in bad shape the doctors have to give it medicine to help the animals get better.¨ It was a hot day in June when we first met Baxter. The tiny pup’s soulful eyes welled with gratitude when we rescued him, along with more than 300 other animals, from a neglectful shelter in Moulton, Alabama. He could barely breathe when we found him, and it was clear that the three-month-old puppy had already experienced more suffering than most dogs will ever know.Baxter was quickly

My confirmed dates of availability are from May 16th- August 22nd, and my preferred duration is that entire period (13 weeks). If granted and accepted an internship with the Manatee Research Program, there would be nothing that would prevent my ability to participate as an intern. Please note that these dates have changed to what was stated in my application, as my graduation date was moved up and I was accepted into graduate school starting in the fall.

For the past two years I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant at AnRus Veterinary Clinic. I have greatly improved my knowledge of the veterinary industry and have further reinforced that I truly want to become a veterinarian. I have assisted in taking x-rays, assisted in surgeries, restrained large and small animals, prepared vaccines, assisted clients, ran heartworm tests, ran cytology tests, weighed patients, and taken

As an employee at Huron Veterinary Clinic, I worked with veterinarians assisting with the general and medical care of patients. Exercise, feeding, watering, and medication administration for patients was a main part of my daily activities. I also assisted veterinarians by helping with activities, such as holding patients and monitoring anesthesia for surgery. Additionally, I worked with White Tailed Deer fawns. My work involved feeding, and daily cleaning of the fawns, as well as recording food intake, excretions, and general health of each fawn. Additionally, I have been a pharmacy technician for three years. As pharmacy technician, I have many responsibilities. I accurately type, and fill prescriptions. I answer phone calls, call doctors’

I have challenged myself in many ways throughout my educational life. One area of interest that I am proud I have pursued is my contribution to the community, by volunteering at Cats Only Veterinary Clinic. This position taught me a lot about myself and helped me learn about some areas I would like to explore in the future. I have been spending extra time learning information about the biology and chemistry of a cat to help me with my future educational goals. The Veterinarians at the Cats Only Clinic have been extremely kind to me by letting me get involved in learning more about the science behind cats. I have got the satisfaction of being able to observe surgical and no surgical operations like Radiology (x-rays), Dentistry, Spaying, Neutering,
