Additional Information about this Program
ORADELL ANIMAL HOSPITAL36,000 SQUARE FOOTSTATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITYDESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM: Oradell Animal Hospital offers 10 internships in small animal medicine and surgery to qualified candidates who wish to increase their medical/surgical knowledge while honing the interpersonal skills required to function within the framework of a large, well-equipped and well-managed private practice. Pragmatism is stressed, as well as the “in-depth” study of selected cases which an affluent clientele allows. This program, begun in 1979, is consistently upgraded and modified to offer the latest in medical knowledge and medical/surgical equipment. Notable inclusions are two digital x-ray machines, two Toshiba Aplio 300 Ultrasound Imaging Systems, Snyder ICU/oxygen units, Storz video endoscope, colonoscope, bronchoscope, cystoscope and otoscope as well as a Storz laparoscope and arthroscope. We also utilize a NOVA critical care blood analyzer, both Dynamap and multiple Doppler blood pressure monitors and a Nellcor Puritan Bennett 840 Ventilator. Our cardiology department utilizes equipment such as the Toshiba Aplio echocardiography machine, GE MAC 5000 and MAC 1200 EKG machines, Holter Monitor, Event Monitor and an in-house cardiac catheterization lab utilizing a C-arm fluoroscope. Oradell Animal Hospital is eminently equipped to perform a full range of medical, surgical, oncological, dental, radiologic and laboratory services. Our facility also has a fluoroscopy unit, a C-arm digital fluoroscopy unit and a Siemens 1.5T MRI machine, and a Siemens CT unit. The critical care unit has extensively trained support personnel including a VTS ECC technician and 6 emergency/critical care residents, and is directed by three board certified emergency/critical care specialists. Located in the lovely suburban town of Paramus, New Jersey, the hospital is a short distance from New York City, allowing for easy excursions to numerous cultural and sports activities.Oradell Animal Hospital, accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association since 1972, accepts emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. A staff of 65 veterinarians and over 350 technical and clerical employees allows us to see the great volume of cases presented each day, many of which are referred by veterinarians in the greater NY-NJ-CT metropolitan area.Two staff members are Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, twelve staff members are Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, three staff members are Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, one staff member is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition, one a member of the American College of Zoological Medicine, and one staff member is a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, whom is a certified veterinary acupuncturist and certified pain practitioner. One staff member is a CCRP (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner). These staff members are either on the premises full-time or available for consultations as needed. A board certified radiologist provides imaging services that include ultrasound, ultrasound guided biopsies, and the reading of almost all radiographic images. There is a board-certified ophthalmologist that practices in our facility two days a week and a board certified anesthesiologist that works with us one day a week.Oradell Animal Hospital also offers physical rehabilitation services to both our own patients and to referral patients from surrounding practitioners. Therapeutic options available include an underwater treadmill, therapeutic ultrasound, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, therapeutic exercise aids, cold laser and acupuncture.Instruction to our interns is provided by personal consultation, lectures from house staff, clinical pathology conferences, radiology rounds and outside lecturers. In addition, attendance at outside meetings is granted and is compensated for, in part, by the hospital. Intern presentations are also required periodically throughout the year. Surgical training includes observation and assisting in complicated procedures as well as practical application for those interns who demonstrate the inclination and required skills. During the surgical rotation weeks, interns will be expected to follow the emergency surgery on-call schedule and be present at the hospital to assist with surgery and anesthesia.A member of the Oradell Animal Hospital veterinary staff is the provider of veterinary services for the Bergen County Zoological Park, a growing zoo located near the hospital. Interns with a special interest in zoo animals will have the opportunity to participate in this area. In addition, numerous avian, exotic and pocket pets are presented to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.Emergency experience is a significant part of the internship and serves as excellent preparation for those interested in a career in emergency and critical care medicine. Our program has graduated a total of 227 interns and has an excellent record of interns being accepted into residency programs including surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, emergency/critical care medicine, clinical pathology and zoological medicine. Interns accepted into residency and specialty internship programs must remain in the intern program through July 4th. All others must remain in the internship program until July 5th unless otherwise arranged with the Director.Matched candidates MUST FULFILL ALL New Jersey Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners requirements PRIOR to starting the internship program. This will include a Review of Credentials, satisfactory completion of the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam, criminal background check, drug testing, application for licensure and subsequent examination by the New Jersey Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners which is an online exam; it is multiple choice and there is no study guide for it. The exam will show you the right answers with an explanation. Each matched candidate must sign a contractual agreement for the internship period. This contract includes a “covenant not to compete” and a confidentiality agreement.***We are willing to customize your internship for those interested in General Practice Medicine, including education in Practice Management for 4 weeks within the internship year.
