Diagnostic Challenge

Appointments

The DC appointment schedule forms provide a way for clients and students to schedule time together during DC week.

Each DC clinic first meets with their client & facilitator the morning of Day 1, starting about 9 am. The interviews are staggered to allow time for new clients to observe the experienced clients. This is when the students get the initial history and physical exam findings on their case.

After that first meeting and throughout the week, each DC Clinic Team can then sign up for additional time with their client using a digital appointment schedule.

The students will use these meeting to get more information, update their client on the animal’s condition/test results, and discuss their ideas, treatment options, and working diagnoses.

Appointment schedules will be sent to you by your facilitator either the evening before or in the morning. Please be sure to communicate with your facilitator with any special requests (blocking off times when you won’t be available) and preference, if necessary.
