To all who are interested in WMC: I am the treasurer of the clinic. If you have any specific questions or concerns, you are welcome to ask me. As far as joining, the others who have commented are completely correct. As long as you are a vet student, you don't need to fill out any kind of application. The teams range from 7-9 depending on how many people sign up during that very first rounds. Generally try to have about 20 people in each team so that all shifts can be covered by at least 2 people. YOU MUST COME TO ROUNDS TO SIGN UP! If you don't show, you can't join. We will not let people mid-semester or even quarter sign up. You will have to wait until next year. Rounds are MANDATORY. They are every Tuesday except during finals weeks. You can miss two per SEMESTER. There's make-up rounds every Thursday evening. This is a major time commitment, and it's ok if you find you can't handle the extra work. It can get pretty crazy, but you have to let your team leaders know if you start to get overwhelmed. Most the time they will try to work with you and help you make it more manageable. During the winter, it's pretty mellow but right now my team is spending 2-2.5 hours per treatment taking care of all of our patients. That's on top of our pager and orphan feeding shifts that alternate every week. I literally spent 12 hours on pager (i.e. on call) this weekend because most people left for various reasons and I had the free time to do it. Our team is currently on orphan feedings which means we are responsible for feeding all the babies in the clinic at set times, not just the babies our team has. In general, you can spend anywhere from 8-20 hours a week in the clinic depending on what's going on. This is a lot of work, but teaches you a lot of extremely useful skills. You get very good at drug doses, restraint, fluid calculations, tube feeding, anesthesia, reading radiographs, bandaging, cleaning wounds, and sometimes you can perform surgeries depending on what's going on. I don't want to scare anyone away by showcasing how much work it is, but please be realistic about it. I don't want anyone getting stressed out over being in clinic because of false expectations.
