RE: Clinical opportunities at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, University of California, Davis

We will have openings for veterinary students in some of our teaching hospital rotations during many weeks of the 2006 – 2007 academic year beginning June 19, 2006 and would like to open these rotations to students from other schools and colleges. Rotations requested should be a minimum of 2 weeks and maximum of 4 weeks in length.

Qualifications:

1.  Final year veterinary student or about to start final year at time of visit. During the summer (mid June through August) we accept some U.S. students who are between the second and third or third and fourth years, and foreign students who are between the third and fourth or fourth and fifth years.

2.  Proficient in spoken and written English.

Students from AVMA accredited schools can come for up to 4 weeks free of charge. Students that wish to stay longer than 4 weeks will be charged $428/week. Students from non AVMA schools or schools our university do not have an exchange agreement with will be charged $428/week. Students can request a fee waiver. Students may also incur administrative fees related to required visa arrangements. Spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis. You will be responsible for your own travel, room and board.
