Visiting Practitioner Program
If so, the WSU Visiting Practitioner
Program may be a great opportunity. The private practitioner is a highly
respected colleague of WSU and an important member of our instructional
team. The advice and experience of contemporary practitioners is
invaluable to us in the education of our students and in shaping our
curriculum. This program is designed to give practicing veterinarians a
chance to experience life at a university teaching hospital, help teach
and meet upcoming graduates, and enhance working relationship with
university clinicians. |

The visiting practitioner program provides veterinarians with a one-day
opportunity to be instructor clinicians in the Small Animal Community
Practice section or Large Animal sections of the Veterinary Teaching
Hospital. While visiting, interested practitioners will have the
opportunity to get acquainted with students and contribute to their
education by sharing their personal experiences with similar cases,
practice tips and advice. The day begins with a brief orientation to the
service area and visiting practitioners will get a copy of the
hospital’s daily receiving plan from a designated member of the faculty
or hospital staff. Practitioners will then be able to participate in
rounds dealing directly with outpatient services, work with senior
students, and receive routine appointments in the Veterinary Teaching
Hospital. Visiting practitioners can also meet with the hospital
director or department chair.
For those interested in the program, contact Connie Sakamoto in the
department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at 509-335-0779 or by email
at cmf@vetmed.wsu.edu. The
teaching hospital schedule can accommodate one visiting practitioner per
week, so arrangements need to be made at least two weeks in advance of a
proposed visit. Practitioners can also arrange an additional day or more
with a faculty specialist of their choice.
Participants will receive a letter confirming the date of their planned
visit to campus as well as a map, parking permit, and instructions that
include a protocol for the chosen service, and any other information
pertinent to their visit. Veterinarians can also repeat their
participation in the VPP program as often as they like.
This opportunity is free of charge, but visiting practitioners are
welcome to donate to the WSU Foundation or the Veterinary Clinical
Sciences Development Fund to help support these activities and
excellence in WSU clinical training programs.The students, staff and faculty at Washington State
University invite you to give this excellent program a try! We hope you
will take advantage of this special program and come visit your
colleagues and friends at Washington State University!
