- What are the details of the Case Report presentation?
The goal is for each student to visit at least 3-4 locations, in 2–3-week blocks. There may be slight adjustments depending on specific DVM availability.
The HVP Summer Internship Team will match students with mentors based on mutual learning objectives, skillset, and calendar availability.
Each student will prepare a case report based on something they were involved in during the program. The reports will be presented at a virtual case-rounds (mid-August) attended by Heritage veterinarians. Throughout the program, students will meet with members of the HVP Summer Internship team (and each other) to review case selection and preparation. Additional guidance will also be provided to any student who wishes to submit their case report at a campus or industry event (e.g. AABP Annual Conference).
