Who will be seeing my pet?
We embrace our role as a teaching institution and are proud to be one of the few Universities combining a veterinary technology and a DVM program under one roof.
Upon arrival through the Emergency Service, you will be triaged by a 4th year veterinary student or veterinary nurse. The 4th year veterinary student assigned to your pet will usually be the first point of contact and your direct liaison to your clinician. The attending clinician will either be an intern, a resident or a senior clinician. Your pet is evaluated by an entire team of specialists and specialists in training. If your pet is hospitalized, you will receive daily updates from the veterinary student and/or clinician by phone.
Many cases that initially present through the ECC service are transferred to other services within the hospital for further care. While your pet may still be housed in the hospital, the primary clinician(s) overseeing your case and communicating with you will then change. You will always be informed of any service transfers.
