The large animal emergency and critical care residency at the Brazos Valley Equine Hospital is an intense three year program designed to prepare a candidate for board certification and competency in the area of large animal emergency and critical care. The resident will have the opportunity to sharpen their diagnostic and decision-making skills in equine medicine, surgery and intensive care, gain hands-on experience in procedures and advanced diagnostics, as well as, develop confidence in interacting with clients and teaching staff, students and interns. Working in a fast-paced, friendly environment with the large caseload of our hospital will be very rewarding and educational.

We strongly believe in mentoring, but the amount of supervision will decrease and the primary responsibilities will increase as the resident becomes more comfortable. The resident is expected to have skills to allow handling of in-house appointments and emergency cases and to develop additional skills in the area of ECC during the residency. All supervision requirements of the residency will be met during the three years. A complete description is available by clicking here. The residency position is currently filled and will begin receiving applications for July 2013 to July 2016 in January of 2013.
