ZOOS WITH VETERINARY TECHNICIAN
TEACHING PROGRAMS
Any questions or changes to the
"Teaching Programs" please email Jeanna Lineberger; jlineberger@riverbanks.org
In general, a prospective
extern/intern/preceptor will be performing the same duties as the employed
technician. Most zoos require that certain medical conditions be met. These may
include a negative TB test within the last 6 months, current rabies and tetanus
vaccinations.
Most zoos are not able to provide
monetary support. Room and board are the student's responsibility, but some zoos
may be able to offer assistance in locating housing.

DEFINITIONS:
Externship: A supplemental program
for instructing veterinary technician or medical technologist students in
zoo veterinary medicine. The involvement of the student's school is minor;
arrangements are made by the student and the zoo program's director. These
programs serve as an introduction to zoo veterinary medicine.
Preceptorship: A formal,
structured program for instructing veterinary technician or medical technologist
students in zoo veterinary medicine. The zoo program is approved by the
student's veterinary technical/medical technology school. In many cases, the
preceptor's work is graded by the student's supervisor.
Internship: A post-graduate
program for veterinary technicians or medical technologists. These programs
allow interns to utilize knowledge and skills acquired in school and other
veterinary experiences and apply them to zoo veterinary medicine.

Cape Cod is an area of Massachusetts that includes beaches, salt marshes, sand dunes, woodlands and lovely ocean-side towns. Barnstable is a rural ocean community, quiet during the off season (late fall through early spring) and bustling with activity during the rest of the year.

While students spend the majority of their time at the Center we do make sure that each student has time off to enjoy the Cape and all it has to offer.
We will make every effort to make your program an experience of learning and enhancement, to expose you to new concepts and ideas and encourage you to share your knowledge with us and with the other students.
