 The Primary Care Surgery Service is a two week hospital rotation which provides the opportunity for student clinicians to spay and castrate adoptable shelter and rescue dogs. Emphasis is on the development of surgical competence, confidence, and efficiency within the limits of accepted technique. Students are encouraged to think for themselves and to integrate their Cornell training with experiences they may have had elsewhere. Student surgeons are in charge of the pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care of their patients and the judgment used in providing that care. Support is provided by Dr. Harvey and other faculty surgeons, and by Ms. Jennifer Sweet, a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT). Anesthesia support is provided by LVT's from the Anesthesia Service. Rounds focus on common clinical situations, pragmatic solutions, ethical issues, and the integration of professional and personal life.

When Offered Fall, spring, summer.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: third- and fourth-year veterinary students.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: VTMED 5510.
