Many students have found opportunities to volunteer and shadow at some of the many clinics in the area. Some have also found paid employment at these clinics. The best way to find these opportinuities is to phone the clinics, or better yet, visit them and leave a copy of your CV and statement of interest on file. The contact information for some clinics is listed at Volunteer and work opportunities in and around Harrisonburg. There are also opportunities for junior and seniors to do an internship at the Virginal State Agricultural Diagnostics lab on Reservoir Road. This lab does necropsies and a variety of blood, microbiology, and PCR tests to determine causes of death for poultry and livestock brought to the clinic by local farmers. See Dr. Rose for admission requirements, application procedures and availability.
