Enjoy the natural beauty of northwest Arkansas side by side with three veterinarians in a mixed animal practice. Our practice offers an opportunity to practice on a wide variety of species year-round. Typically our time is divided into approximately 50% small animal, 25% cattle, and 25% horses. We deliver many puppies by caesarean section, routinely perform orthopedic surgeries and work up challenging medicine cases. Carroll county Arkansas is home to over 70,000 mama cows with both spring and fall calving seasons. The equine cases consist of reproduction, lameness, lacerations, and minor surgery. Occasionally we also examine goats, sheep, pigs, as well as lions, tigers, and bears at a local wildlife refuge. Students will have the opportunity to assist with emergencies if desired, which is a great way to prepare for common after hour emergencies before graduation. We enjoy and welcome students to spend time learning with us. Our staff creates a fun environment and they also enjoy working with the students we have had visit our clinic. The St. Francis Veterinary Clinic was established in 1990 by Dr. Ron Eby and the new hospital was opened in 2007, fully equipped with radiograph machine, ultrasound, lab, hydraulic chute/tilt table, and stocks. We provide ambulatory service for routine cattle and horse work. Students are welcome to live with the families of the veterinarians during the externship. We are happy to host students for preceptorships, externships, or to help them explore their options in mixed practice. Call us at (870) 423-2630 or email Dr. Aric Brandt at aric@stfrancis.arcoxmail.com if you have any questions or would like to make arrangements.

Externship Program
The externship program at the Equine Specialty Hospital is designed for third and fourth year veterinary students who wish to gain more experience in a private practice referral setting. We encourage students to commit 2-4 weeks to their experience. The first week emphasizes orientation and training but students will have an active, hands-on externship from the beginning.
Students will be assigned to a specialist for each week of their stay. This may vary pending the case load of each specialist, and the interests of the student (surgery vs. medicine). Professional attire is required, and consists of a collared shirt, khaki pants, and appropriate footwear, all in good condition. Scrubs are not provided.

A $50 stipend is provided per week. Please note that there are no restaurants or shopping venues within walking distance. A 2-bedroom apartment with a private bath and small kitchen including toaster oven and microwave is provided on-site. The apartment is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Laundry facilities are also available on-site. Bed linens will be provided, but students should bring their own towels, etc. Facilities for pets are not available. Since students are staying on the property, they are expected to participate in all after-hours emergencies.

The closest airports are Cleveland International and Akron-Canton Airports. However, the clinic is located 30-45 minutes from each airport, and if flying, the student will be required to provide rental car transportation. Students are encouraged to actively participate in all aspects of veterinary medicine while staying at ESH. Therefore, proof of AVMA PLIT student insurance is required.
Our caseload focuses mainly on sports medicine and the equine athlete. However, a large number of colics, wounds, neurologic conditions, etc are admitted on routine basis. Some cases, such as critically ill foals, occur mainly during late spring and early summer. The Equine Specialty Hospital also provides CT, MRI, Nuclear Scintigraphy, and digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities. The student is encouraged to become involved in these cases as they arrive at the clinic.

We hope that this provides you with satisfactory information regarding the externship offered by the Equine Specialty Hospital. Additional questions are encouraged, and should be directed to Dr. Melissa Milligan at (440) 834-0811, or DRMMESH@aol.com. If interested, please send a copy of your resume, 3 references, and the externship application to 17434 Rapids Road, Burton, OH 44021. We will confirm your reserved externship immediately.
