Small Animal ICU Program
Come experience Texas A&M's brand new Intensive Care Unit in
the Small Animal Clinic! The Small Animal ICU Program allows SVECCS
members to shadow technicians, students, and faculty in the
newly-constructed Small Animal ICU. In addition to observing the
cases and procedures in the ICU, members are also welcome to help
the ICU staff during their shift if they feel comfortable doing
so.
If you sign up for this program, you will be assigned to a 5
hour shift with one other member. You will not be scheduled within
two (2) nights of an exam. Shifts run from 7pm-12am Monday through
Friday. Weekend shifts are also available on a volunteer basis and
run from 1pm-7pm Saturdays and Sundays. Participating students can
expect to be scheduled for one shift per month.
For each Small Animal ICU shift you attend, your name will be
entered in a prize drawing sponsored by VECCS at the end of the
semester. Be sure go to your scheduled shifts and sign in to
increase your chances of winning!
Schedule
Sign up sheets will be posted downstairs on
the bulletin board across from the student mailboxes. Please
indicate whether you would like zero, one, or two weekend shifts
this semester. (Weekend shifts are considered as being Friday
through Sunday.)
If you cannot make your assigned shift, please make every effort
to find a classmate to take your place. Our Small Animal
ICU Liaison is also available to help you find a
replacement.
