Small Animal Surgery Resident:
The small animal surgery residency is a three-year
program designed to meet ACVS residency guidelines and simultaneously fill requirements
for the Master of Science degree at Kansas State University. Successful completion of the
residency depends on completion of both the clinical residency and Master of Science
degree requirements. The resident is required to submit an original manuscript to a
refereed journal prior to completion of the residency. Supervision of the MS degree
program is by graduate faculty within the Department of Clinical Sciences, College of
Veterinary Medicine.
The small animal surgery section at KSU is composed
of 5 board-certified surgeons, and is divided into Orthopedic and Soft Tissue services.
The small animal surgery residency is further supported by 13 board-certified faculty in
the anesthesiology, radiology, ophthalmology, oncology and internal medicine. The resident
will participate equally in the clinical surgery services during the three-year period,
with 70% time commitment to training in clinical surgery and 30% in
class work and research
towards graduate degree requirements. Continuation into the second and third year of the
program depends on acceptable progress of the resident. During a portion of the third
year, the resident will operate a Chief Resident Service. Residents are required to
prepare for and attend weekly resident conferences consisting of case presentations,
journal reviews, radiology rounds, and formal seminar presentations. Residents are
required to participate in the emergency service of the KSU-VMTH.
The annual reappointment of the resident is
contingent upon continued satisfactory performance in all aspects of the program.
The Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is a
modern, spacious facility on the campus of Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas.
The University is in the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas, with numerous recreational
opportunities available.
It is an expectation that all residents be present
for the orientation session occurring on the first day(s) of employment.
Kansas State University is an Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Kansas State University actively seeks diversity among
its employees.
Intern and resident candidates are
