Exclusively Cats Veterinary Hospital Residency Program Exclusively Cats Veterinary Hospital is proud to have an American Board of Veterinary Practitioner approved residency program.
The objective of ABVP-approved residencies is to promote expertise and proficiency in species specialty veterinary medicine by providing instruction and guidance through a structured residency program.
Dr. Steven Bailey, an ABVP Diplomate in Feline Medicine, supervises Exclusively Cats Veterinary Hospital?s residency program. Requirements for the Exclusively Cats' ABVP residency program:
Feline residency training involves all phases of practice i.e. medicine, anesthesiology, dermatology, surgery, radiology/diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology, theriogenology, population based preventative medicine, and clinical and gross pathology.
The resident will be expected to participate in all aspects of case management including receiving, examination, diagnosing, daily management, client communication, discharging, and follow-up communications. Residents are expected to participate in emergency case management. Residents in some species categories are responsible for population-based case studies, client contact, investigation, diagnosis, follow-up communications and recommendations. Duration and Distribution of Time The ABVP Residency Program is based on the common clinical residency duration of 2 years (104 weeks), with 2 weeks of vacation per year. A minimum of 70% of the resident?s time must be devoted to rotations crucial to advanced training in feline specialty (core rotations); the remaining 30% of time can consist of related rotations. Since the 104-week program includes a total of 4 weeks of vacation, the program must contain at least 70 weeks of core training and 30 weeks of related rotations for a total of 100 weeks of supervised clinical training and practice. Residencies with advanced degree or concurrent residencies (minimum of 36 months) should likewise base calculations on a minimum of 100 weeks of clinical training even though various disciplines may be scheduled over the entire three-year period. |
