In this 3-week rotation students will assist the staff with diagnosis and treatment of sports-related conditions including lameness diagnosis and treatment, evaluation and treatment of upper respiratory diseases, and diagnosis and treatment of a variety of surgical conditions such as lacerations and traumatic injuries to the musculoskeletal system. Students will assist in advanced diagnostic imaging including nuclear imaging and CT imaging with a unit that allows horses to be imaged while standing. A dynamic endoscope is available for use on the track to evaluate upper respiratory disease while the horse is exercising. Students will preform lameness examinations under guidance of the staff clinicians and will be expected to participate in after-hours emergencies. Rounds will be held daily when horses are hospitalized. The caseload is not limited to racing Thoroughbred horse but includes a diverse population of sport horses including Standard bred racehorses, working Quarter Horses, and hunter-jumper and dressage horses. Typically offered Fall Summer.
