Kansas State University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is offering a two year residency in Equine Practice. The residency program has been designed to fulfill the program requirements of the ABVP credentialing process. The successful candidate will complete 60% of their clinical service obligations in Equine Field Service and Theriogenology and 40% in Equine Medicine and Surgery over the course of the training program. The resident will be expected to participate in all aspects of equine clinical service including primary, referral, emergency, and intensive care duty. The resident will assume primary care of hospitalized patients on weekends and holidays. Opportunities for residents to participate in clinical, didactic, and laboratory instruction and continuing education programs will be available. With demonstrated progress in the program, the resident will be assigned increasing clinical and instructional responsibility.
The goals of this residency program are to provide a clinical and academic training experience of sufficient intensity to adequately prepare the resident for Board Certification with the ABVP and a career in either academic or private practice. To achieve success in this regard, the resident will be expected to attend conferences, rounds, journal clubs, and other academic activities as directed during the program. Emphasis will be placed on developing and publishing clinical observations. The resident will be required to submit a minimum of one publication to a refereed journal during the program.
The annual reappointment of the trainee is contingent upon continued satisfactory performance in all aspects of the program.
