Animal Internships
Residencies are offered to qualified veterinarians seeking greater
exposure and expertise in the specialty of their choice.
Residents are required to enroll in the graduate school and take
appropriate course work leading to a masters degree. State funded
residents must register for courses each semester (Fall, Spring,
and Summer) throughout the residency program in order to be classified
as a student and avoid having retirement benefits deducted from
their monthly salary. Residents must register for a minimum of 6
credits per semester in the Fall and Spring, and 3 credits in the
Summer to be considered a full time student. The College will cover
the cost of in-state tuition for up to 9 credits each semester.
Registering for more than 9 credits does not incur additional cost.
Enrolled residents will receive tuition premiums to cover out-of-state
tuition costs during the first year of the residency program. Thereafter,
residents who have established Colorado Resident status will continue
to have in-state tuition costs covered by the College. It is, therefore,
very important that a resident establish Colorado residency status
during the first year of their residency in order to avoid paying
out of state tuition costs in the second and third years of the
residency. Foreign students who will not be able to establish Colorado
residency will be responsible for the difference between in state
and out of state tuition costs each semester. The difference between
in-state and out of state tuition costs for which a non-Colorado
resident will be responsible may be as high as $7,900.00 per year.
Residents are expected to attend and contribute to resident/graduate
seminars during the school year. Additionally, two publications
are required from the resident in the area of his/her special interest.
Residents are allowed approximately 20% time for course work during
each year. A master's degree will only be awarded on completion
of a three-year residency program and all graduate requirements.
Time spent in training programs can also be applied toward residency
training requirements for specialty board eligibility.
Appointment will be made for 12 months with the opportunity of renewal
for an additional 12 months upon successful completion of each term.
Residency training will emphasize completion of requirements for
successful submission of credentials to the approproate specialty
board..
Duties of the resident will consist of clinical assignments, research,
and teaching under direct supervision of appropriate faculty. Additionally,
participation in weekly case presentations and limited number of
lectures and participation in laboratory courses will be expected.
Residents are advised, but not required, to become licensed and
accredited in the State of Colorado.
The organization of the residents training program is highly individualized
through the guidance of a appropriate faculty advisor and committee.
Residents provide emergency care to client animals during non-business
hours on a rotational basis.
