seems pretty similar to NCSU. they also seemed to put students on the more "routine" companion animal stuff and not so much the crazy procedure stuff like a lot of my classmates were doing at other schools.
I felt like they just gave us whatever..... I mean, it's not like they're going to let us pick some assinine protocol, but I worked up the alpaca, picked my anesthesia protocol, did all the pre-med, induction, intubation, etc.
They seemed pretty good here about giving us enough rope to hang ourselves, but not so much that it puts a patient at risk - there was always a tech or anesthesiologist checking on us and giving some guidance. Or just plain making decisions if we floundered with a difficult patient.
I don't think I had anything other than ASA II-III-IV cases. Definitely no ASA I cases. We do have ASA I cases (particularly through our GP and Dentistry services), but I never saw any of them. I lucked out on my on-call nights and never had any ASA V cases either; my only on-call cases were ASA III and urgent for other reasons (back dogs, etc.).
But regardless, I felt like they didn't really hold back on the cases they gave us. We don't have a student on every case because there's only four students, and because our morning teaching rounds would mean holding up surgery until too late in the day, but I didn't get the sense that they 'protected' us from difficult cases. My first case was actually my most sick animal (and it ended up dying 4-5 days later in ICU).
I really thought our anesthesia rotation was structured super well. Morning case rounds where you present your cases and anesthesia plans to the clinician, who signs off on the protocol you picked. Then teaching rounds. Then work cases the rest of the day. Rinse, lather, repeat.
I liked that they encouraged us to try different things. There were a number of times my clinician said "Well, I'm not sure I'd do it that way, but it's not going to hurt the animal so sure, give it a shot." I'm really, really familiar with ace-opioid premed and ket-val for induction because that's what they use for just about everything at the clinic I've spent most of my time at. So I focused on using a variety of other approaches. I tended to stay away from things like etomidate, though - while it obviously has a very useful purpose in, say, a cardiovascular-compromised patient, the fact is I'm probably not going to ever see a bottle out in private practice. I tried to balance "new to me" combinations with "practical and likely to use in 'real life'".
