Resident & Intern Programs
The Ambulatory and Production Medicine Clinic makes 3,600 farm calls and sees approximately 37,000 animals per year. About 85% of these are dairy cattle. Horses account for most of the remainder of the cases, but sheep, goats, swine, and camelids are seen as well. Interns and residents participate in the program, taking veterinary students with them on farm calls. Special emphasis and training are provided in dairy production medicine.
The section of Clinical Pathology offers a three year residency training
program geared towards training residents to become outstanding
clinical pathologists. Residents are encouraged to become academic
clinical pathologists through fun, interactive, stimulating discussions,
participation in didactic and case-based teaching, and performance and
publication of high-quality clinical pathologic-applied research
projects. Training will also encompass preparation for certification in
Veterinary Clinical Pathology by the American College of Veterinary
Pathologists.
Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at Cornell offers a one-year clinical
internship in shelter medicine and behavior. Interns provide individual
animal care, and preventive medicine interventions for population health
and the reduction of animal homelessness. The internship is focused
primarily on in-shelter training, but does include key rotations in the
Cornell University Hospital for Animals, as well as weekly rounds,
journal club, presentations to peers and shelter staff, and
consultations regarding shelter design and operation.
