Cleveland Equine is proud to offer a student shadowing program. This program is designed for any student interested in expanding their exposure to the world of equine veterinary medicine. Student shadows will have potential exposure to all aspects of our practice including sports medicine, reproduction, internal medicine, acupuncture, dentistry, and more. This is a great opportunity to gain practical experience and complete any personal goals a student may have. During your time, we will try to place you in areas of interest. This opportunity is open to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. This is our most flexible program as students have the ability to choose how long they would like to shadow maxing out at two weeks unless approved otherwise. Hours differ between veterinarians; shadows will have a set start time for each day but the end time can vary based upon the time of year, the veterinarian’s schedule, and any added emergency calls.
Thank you for your interest in Cleveland Equine Clinic’s shadow program.
