How does the fact that Ryan-VHUP is a teaching hospital affect my visit?
During your visit to Ryan-VHUP, you and your pet will see a team of veterinary professionals including board-certified specialists, residents, interns, veterinary students and veterinary technicians. Not only are we teaching our trainees how to practice veterinary medicine, we’re also teaching communication skills, so an essential part of that training is interaction with you, the pet’s caregiver. Because of these elements, it’s likely that you will be seen by a veterinary student prior to being seen by a doctor. While you may primarily interact with residents and interns, all case management is overseen by our faculty doctors, board-certified specialists in their respective areas.
