aside from wildlife, most of my learning this year comes from doing rotations in the school's veterinary hospital which is really a referral center. If your pet needs a complicated surgery, needs chemotherapy, has a disease your vet can't figure out, etc your vet will refer you here to see specialists. Because of that, most of what we see our fourth year is not what we'd see in private practice. It's fun, but not always useful.
Right now, I'm on the "primary care" rotation which is structured just like a private practice--which means i'm learning useful things. I've only ever worked in an emergency practice, so i know nothing about vaccines, deworming, and other common problems. It's not as exciting as emergency, but if i ever have to work in a private practice with cats and dogs (which i will probably be forced to:( ) i should be set:)
in the meantime, i'll hear if i passed/failed boards in a few weeks (EEK!) and will hear in march if i got or didn't get one of the two positions i applied for (double EEK!). Take care!
