Residents will be expected to participate in daily student rotation rounds and lead discussions, with the oversight of a faculty member, twice weekly (this may vary depending on the comfort level of the resident and faculty member). Residents are expected to participate in clinical house officer rounds with the food animal section faculty members. Clinical house officer rounds consist of discussion of current hospitalized patients with the food animal section faculty members and journal club rounds, also with the mentoring of the food animal section faculty members. Clinical house officer rounds take place on a weekly basis. Primary emergency duty is distributed equally among food animal house officers (2 residents and 1 intern). House officers will always have an assigned faculty member for backup or consultation for any emergency. Residents are also required to participate in the Department house officer seminar series. Seminars are presented weekly with individual residents presenting twice yearly. Residents are expected to prepare and submit 1 peer reviewed manuscript for publication each year of their residency. Academic Schedule and Requirements
Residents will have the opportunity to select research opportunities within the realm of food animal medicine, surgery and production. (See food animal graduate studies opportunities for options.) After an area of interest is identified the resident will be provided a major professor and a graduate committee. Sufficient time and resources will be provided for the completion of a Master’s Degree.
Clinical Caseload and Opportunities The Food Animal Section within the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital boasts a robust and growing clinical caseload. The division of species is as follows: 60% Beef Cattle

American Board of Veterinary Practitioners Residency
The primary goal of this training program is to provide the resident an opportunity to acquire credentials and expertise making them eligible for the food animal specialty within the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP). Through this experience, the resident will obtain advanced clinical expertise that will allow them to excel in academia, industry, or private practice. During the clinical training program, the resident will have the opportunity to pursue graduate studies, also providing valuable experience for career development. The ABVP food animal residency program at KSU is supported by two ABVP board certified faculty (food animal and dairy), and a board certified internist as well as the entire food animal faculty.

Herd Health and Production Medicine
The Herd Health and Production Medicine program at Kansas State University includes both beef and dairy training. The general field service caseload for 2001-2002 was approximately 24,000 animals. A large portion of these are due to Herd Health and Production Programs. Beef cow calf operations provide the majority of the caseload. Additionally, small back grounding feedlot and small to large dairies are serviced. Residents will have the opportunity to participate in complete male and female reproductive health programs both in the field and in the laboratory. Collection and interpretation of production data will be performed by the resident and, in conjunction with supporting faculty be used to develop in nutrition, reproduction and immune management programs for beef and dairy operations. There will also be opportunity to participate in outbreak investigations to identify herd factors impacting health or production. The Herd Health/Production Medicine residency is appropriate to provide partial preparation and eligibility for the certification exam of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, or the American College of Theriogenology. Additional study time and resources will be required and supported by the faculty mentors. Three faculty primarily support the Herd Health and Production Medicine program at KSU with the support of the entire faculty.

The food animal internal medicine residency at Kansas State University is a three-year clinical training program that is
designed to provide a comprehensive educational experience with emphasis on the diagnosis, pathophysiology, treatment, and
prevention of diseases of livestock. The KSU Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) maintains an active in-house
caseload of approximately 1400 accessions/year. Patients include beef cattle, dairy cattle, South American camelids, swine,
and small ruminants. In addition, the KSU VMTH maintains a traditional ambulatory practice and a production medicine service,
which provides herds consultative services and disease outbreak investigative support. 
The theriogenology training program at KSU is focused on food animal
reproductive disease and performance. Female herd fertility, bull
breeding soundness, spermatology are areas of emphasis, with a thriving
clinical caseload to support these areas. The program is supported by
two board certified theriogenologists as well as the entire faculty.
