The Schedule - if you want to find me, here I am!

You might say, when is Sandra doing all these things?

I thought I would give you an overview of the schedule to come this year.

       Rotation #       Name                                   
  • 1 & 2 -          S(mall)A(nimal) Medicine   5/12-6/6
    • This is the biggest, baddest small animal rotation - 14 hour days are routine and then we're on call
  • 3 -                  SA Pathology    6/7-20                  
    • This is all about anatomic and histologic analysis of our departed beast friends.  Like a coroner for animals. 
  • 4 -                   SA Cardiology     6/21-7/5                
    • This is what is sounds like - hearts, ECGs, and more hearts.
  • 5 -                   L(arge) A(nimal) Medicine   7/6-18
    • This is 2 weeks of basic horse/cow/small ruminant medicine at New Bolton Center.
  • 6 -                   Field Service     7/19-8/1
    • This is vets in trucks who go out to treat local equines & cows within about half an hour or so of New Bolton Center.  It's like Dirty Jobs, but real.
  • 7 -                   LA Surgery   8/2-15
    • This is the sometimes-hellish surgery-on-horses (mostly) rotation.  It often involves being yelled at and doing a lot of standing in the OR.
  • 8 -                   SA Pediatrics    8/16-29
    • Back in Philadelphia after my 6 week sojourn in Kennett Square.  Pediatrics is just that - lots of shot, lots of genetic diseases, and - if you're lucky - squiggling puppies!
  • At the end of this month, my other pediatrics project is due.  Squiggle Platt is due to be born August 22nd!
  • 9 -                   SA Ophtho   8/30-9/12
  • 10 -                1 Week Vacation    9/13-18
  • 11 -                Camelid       9/19-10/10
  • 12 -                SA Soft Tissue    10/11-24
  • 13 -                Special Species      10/25-11/7
  • 14 -                SA Dermatology     11/8-21
  • 15 -                SA Emergency Service     11/22-12/5
    • This is probably the week I will take the National Board Exam
  • 16 -                SA Radiology      12/6-19
  • Christmas Rotation - Emergency Service    12/20-26
  • 17 -                Newark VCA       1/3-17
    • This is also known as the start of job hunting

  • 20 -                LA Emergency/Critical Care       2/14-27
  • 21 -                SA ICU  (sorta funny to have small and large animal critical care back-to-back)
                                                                    2/28-3/13
    • 22 -                Sheep Station      3/14-27
