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

- 16 - SA Radiology 12/6-19

- 19 - SA Anesthesia 1/31-2/13
