Anesthesia Residency

Clinical Rotations

Program rotations are designed to ensure development of clinical competence in a broad range of species. Generally, residents are assigned to clinical work four days each week, with time equally split between large animal (equine, food and fiber animal, camelid) and small animal (dog, cat, exotic) anesthesia. All residents participate with other personnel in the emergency services of the section on a rotating basis covering evenings, weekends, and holidays. Rotations facilitate development of clinical proficiency, clinical skills, and knowledge of anesthesia and pain management through exposure to a wide variety of cases at all levels of complexity.

The goal is facilitated by the location of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in a large metropolitan area that provides a rich variety of case material as well as a referral base that includes Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia. Case management is carried out with the guidance and collaboration of experience faculty in a variety of disciplines who are recognized experts in their respective fields. State-of-the-art equipment and facilities are available to develop technical expertise in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
