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.
