Summer Shadowing ExperienceNicole Gilmore, Stanford class of ’15

Farm Animal Medicine Equine Medicine Avian/Exotic Medicine
I shadowed at the University of
Tennessee College of Veterinary
Medicine for 5 weeks over the
summer. I observed and assisted the
new 4th year students in their clinical
rotations under the supervision of the
teaching veterinarian. Each week, I
picked a different rotation to join. The
rotations I observed were farm animal
medicine, equine medicine, avian and
exotic medicine, orthopedic/physical
therapy, and behavior/nutrition.
While in Knoxville, I lived in on of the
dorms (Volunteer Hall) on the
University of Tennessee campus.
Here are a few examples of
procedures I saw while shadowing…
