The goal of the Small Animal ICU Shadowing program is to give pre-clinical students the opportunity to spend time in the small animal hospital and to obtain experience in small animal emergency and critical care medicine.  Students will be following clinical students through part of their day and will observe how they handle a case from patient arrival through work up.  The shifts are available Seven Days A Week from 8 to 10 PM .   There will be a maximum of 2 students per shift. 

Tues/Thurs lunch time shadowing is also available for those interested in getting more experience.  The sign up sheet for members is on the SVECCS board.

Please dress appropriately to the shift.  Jeans and T-shirts are not acceptable.  Please wear white coat and the CVM badge at all times in the small animal clinic.  It might be a good idea to bring a stethoscope because there may be opportunities to practice auscultation skills on the patients. 

Signing up for ICU Shadowing is a contract to be taken seriously. Students are expected to be present for all scheduled shadowing periods. A replacement must be found by any student unable to be present for his or her scheduled time. Click the link below for more information on finding a replacement.
