Residency training will emphasize completion of requirements for successful submission of credentials to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Duties of the small animal surgery resident will consist of clinical assignments, research, and teaching under direct supervision of surgical faculty. Additionally, participation in weekly case presentations and limited number of lectures and participation in laboratory courses will be expected. Residents are advised,but not required, to become licensed and accredited in the State of Colorado. The organization of the surgical residents training program is highly individualized through the guidance of a surgical faculty advisor and committee.
Residents provide emergency care to small animals during non-business hours on a rotational basis.
