Clinic Orientation
Session
The goal is to orient you to the Veterinary Teaching
Hospital so that you may begin incorporating its resources into your learning.
- Purpose of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH)
– Veterinary teaching hospitals provide clinical instruction in a
service environment that emulates private clinical practice and have an
important role in generating new knowledge through clinical research. In it
3rd and 4th year students are expected to develop and
demonstrate their mastery of medical knowledge and their ability to
integrate and use that knowledge in medical problem solving for clinical
patients. Interns and Residents are expected to advance their clinical
skills in selected areas and disciplines. Students in the 1st and
2nd preclinical years are expected to gain perspective on their
current studies through attending clinical rounds and regular, appropriate
observation of selected clinical cases.
- Personal safety in the VTH – Hospital
environments contain animate, microbiological, chemical and radiological
hazards to personal health and welfare, some of which are life threatening.
Knowledge of these hazards and how to deal with them is essential.
- Professional responsibilities, attitudes, and
conduct in the VTH – Doctors must set high standards and provide
leadership by example for the health care team. Attention must be given to
issues of patient care, communication, medical record keeping, client and
patient confidentiality, and the law as it relates to veterinary medicine.
Students must observe hospital policies and the unique requirements of
clinic areas and individual cases.
- VTH service areas – Hospital operations and
teaching experiences are defined by animal species, clinical service, and
hospital location.
- VTH personnel – Hospital services are
provided by a broad team of highly talented and dedicated individuals with
widely ranging skills. Most are involved in student education, are dedicated
to that mission and welcome you in their area.
- VTH Orientation – The entire hospital will be
visited to orient you to the location of resources for your use in your
education.

USDA
Requirements
for Veterinary Accreditation
USDA Accreditation is
required to be able to vaccinate and test animals for regulatory disease
programs, to test animals for health certificates and to sign these certificates
for sale and for transport across state lines and admission to shows. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) http://www.aphis.usda.gov Veterinary
Services (VS), http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ administers the National
Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP). This voluntary program certifies
private veterinary practitioners to work cooperatively with Federal
veterinarians and State animal health officials.
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nvap/
"Producers that export animals (both between States and overseas) rely on the
expertise of accredited veterinarians to help ensure that exported animals will
not introduce diseases into another State or country. The accreditation program
has served the animal industry well for many years and remains integral to their
future growth. Companion animals also may require health certificates when
traveling to Canada or Mexico or overseas."
The following is taken from REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS FOR ACCREDITED
VETERINARIANS AND SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF SUCH ACCREDITATION
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_00/9cfr161_00.html
(d) Tasks which applicants for accredited status must be able to perform.
Applicants for accredited
status must be able to:
- Perform physical examinations of individual animals, and
visually inspect herds or flocks, to determine whether the animals are
free from any clinical signs suggestive of communicable disease;
- Recognize the
common breeds of livestock so as to be able to
record breed information on official documents;
- Recognize brucellosis
tattoos and calfhood vaccination tags, and
determine the state of origin of eartags, to properly identify animals
in interstate commerce;
- Estimate the age of
livestock using a dental formula
(more tasks are listed on the web site).
