Educational Talks

Dr. Nielsen, Price and Thomas have all volunteered some time over the years to talk to Seeley Swan High School and Elementary Schools, Powell County High School, OD Speer and Granville Stuart Elementary School and Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  Topics covered included Veterinary Medicine, owning your own business and agricultural animals.  Dr. Thomas helps out every year with WSU College of Vet Meds interactive learning week where students practice their communication skills.

4-H Night at the Clinic

We have hosted 4-H night at the clinic in the fall (2017-2019, 2022-2023). We have educated on the importance of preventing parasites, vaccinating animals, the importance of exams, antibiotics, labwork, suturing and preventative health care. We also give tours of the clinic and explain what we do on a daily basis at the veterinary clinic. This year in 2023, we talked about raising puppies, gave a demonstration of how to float horse teeth, talked about chiropractic care and played Jeopardy!

Externships

We do take veterinary student externs every few months. They watch and help with our daily routines, how a rural veterinary practice functions (scheduling, management, culture, case work up and problem solving ) and see every aspect of veterinarian life.

REVIEWS:

I am a student at Utah State University, and I completed an externship with Clark Fork Veterinary Clinic during the summer of 2023. The doctors and the rest of the team at CFVC were welcoming and always willing to include me and help me learn. During my time there, I participated in appointments for a wide variety of patients and gained a lot of experience. My externship was a great experience, and I am glad I chose CFVC!
