Description of Program:
Kansas State
University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is offering a two year
residency in Equine Practice. The residency program has been designed
to fulfill the program requirements of the ABVP credentialing process.
The successful candidate will complete 60% of their clinical service
obligations in Equine Field Service and Theriogenology and 40% in
Equine Medicine and Surgery over the course of the training program.
The resident will be expected to participate in all aspects of equine
clinical service including primary, referral, emergency, and intensive
care duty. The resident will assume primary care of hospitalized
patients on weekends and holidays. Opportunities for residents to
participate in clinical, didactic, and laboratory instruction and
continuing education programs will be available. With demonstrated
progress in the program, the resident will be assigned increasing
clinical and instructional responsibility.
The goals of this
residency program are to provide a clinical and academic training
experience of sufficient intensity to adequately prepare the resident
for Board Certification with the ABVP and a career in either academic
or private practice. To achieve success in this regard, the resident
will be expected to attend conferences, rounds, journal clubs, and
other academic activities as directed during the program. Emphasis
will be placed on developing and publishing clinical observations. The
resident will be required to submit a minimum of one publication to a
refereed journal during the program.
The annual
reappointment of the trainee is contingent upon continued satisfactory
performance in all aspects of the program.
