During the first hour of radiology class last Friday the class
of 2013 received an e-mail that our 4th year clinical
rotation schedules were in our mailboxes. Lets just say it was hard
to concentrate for the last hour of class! I can't believe fourth
year is going to start so soon, I feel like I just started vet
school.
After three years of classroom-based learning you transition
into 11 months of clinical rotations in the Texas A&M small and
large animal hospitals and one month of externships at a veterinary
setting of your choice. While there are several required rotations,
you can chose to track small animal, large animal, mixed animal or
an alternative track, such as exotics, research or a specific
aspect of the cattle industry (dairy, feedlot, stocker, etc.)
I am tracking small animal medicine so my rotations consist of
small animal cardiology, canine and feline internal medicine,
oncology, neurology, dermatology, dentistry, just to name a few. I
am so excited to be able to work with clients and patients
everyday! I know I am going to be really busy (and tired) but I
can't wait.
