Preceptorship

The preceptorship program is the next step in our continuing effort to further educate students and technicians in the area of pain management. Our goal is to provide information whereby veterinarians with a special interest in pain management will mentor students/technicians with similar interests for 1-2 weeks. In this fashion students/technicians will be able to see pain management principles in various working environments. With this program we hope to encourage the exchange of information, techniques, ideas, and methodology between students, schools, and practices around the world.

Interested students and technicians will soon be able to search from a list of available veterinarians. Veterinarians who would like to be a part of this program can find a blank form in the link below that can be filled out and emailed to Whitney May at ivapm@xmi-amc.com.

If you have questions about the program, please email Whitney May (email above) . We look forward to hearing from you!
