Bothell Pet Hospital is proud to be a part of Washington State University 's preceptor program for fourth year veterinary students.  We feel honored to participate, as we are one of only five preceptor clinics in the Puget Sound area.

Throughout the academic year, we host a number of veterinary students for a four week period.  While at our clinic, the student participates in all aspects of private clinical practice.  This is a wonderful opportunity for the student to experience the "real world" of veterinary medicine.

The student works closely with our  veterinarians.  He/she examines patients, formulates plans for diagnostic testing, evaluates results and recommends treatment.  All ideas are discussed and used as an opportunity to hone clinical skills.  Any procedures or treatments are approved by a Bothell Pet Hospital veterinarian and performed only under direct supervision.

By involving the students in this way, we are taking an active role in the advancement of veterinary medicine.  We are committed to quality veterinary care and hope to continue to be a part of this important program helping to teach future veterinarians. 

If you have the opportunity to meet one of our students, we thank you in advance for your kind assistance in furthering the educational experience we provide them.  The students often note what a friendly clientele we have at the Bothell Pet Hospital !
