Veterinary Electives

Senior veterinary students will participate in elective experiences that may be selected either from an approved off-site facility or from a clinical service at The Ohio State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

The list of currently approved off-site programs is organized by focus area. Students who would like to design their own elective experience to include a program not currently approved may request approval of the program through the Office of Educational Design & Systems. All experiences must be either 2 weeks or 4 weeks in length.

Participating off-site institution's commitment

In order to provide a consistent level of training for all of our veterinary students, (unless otherwise noted under miscellaneous), each participating program agrees:

  • to accept student's in future academic quarters, on a mutual consent basis between this organization and the student applying for elective quarter credit.
  • to evaluate student performance and to report that performance back to the college within 2 weeks of the end of their experience.
  • that the students will evaluate their experiences in the rotation and the result of their evaluation will be available to the clinical supervisor and to additional students for consideration for future experiences.
