RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAM REGISTRATION 2012-2013 LARGE ANIMAL INTERNAL MEDCINE New applications for ACVIM Residency Training Programs must be received by the Residency Training Committee 90 days prior to any residents beginning training. Before completing this form, please review the general and specific requirements for Large Animal Internal Medicine (LAIM) residency training programs in the ACVIM General Information Guide (GIG). The most current version of the GIG is available on the ACVIM website at www.acvim.org. If there is a discrepancy between this form and the GIG, the GIG will be considered correct, however, please contact the ACVIM office or the Residency Training Committee Chairperson for clarification. Prior to making significant changes in a residency training program, approval of the ACVIM and LAIM Resident Training Committee must be obtained. The candidate and/or program director must notify ACVIM, in writing. Significant changes could include, but are not limited to: changes in program director or any mentors, transferring from one program to another, alterations in program duration, switching to a dual board program, or enrolling in an institutional graduate program. Notice: Some questions in this form are included for data collection purposes. The inclusion of an item does not imply that the item is a program requirement for ACVIM. For multi-site residency programs: To ensure uniformity of training and compliance with current GIG requirements, training programs which include multiple sites must provide detailed information as to which Diplomates in the specialty of LAIM, as well as other Specialties, will be supervising the resident(s) at each site. In this updated program registration form, the program director must provide specific, detailed information regarding supervision and facilities available at each specific site(s). Check box if this is a renewal application with unaltered information from the previous year: Date: February 15, 2012 Part 1 Program Director: Department of Large Animal Medicine (Must be a Diplomate of ACVIM, in any specialty) Program Director s Contact Information: Work Phone: 706-542-8319 Fax: 706-542-8833 E-mail: bartonmh@uga.edu Mailing Address: 501 DW Brooks Dr. Athens, GA 30602 Species of the Program being registered:: Equine Food Animal Mixed 1. Location of Training Program: Primary Site: University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine 501 DW Brooks Dr. Athens, GA 30602
Secondary Site (if applicable): Outside Rotations/Other Sites (if applicable): Occasionally a resident may spend a block (3 weeks rotation) during their off clinic time from here, at another ACVIM approved program or a private practice setting with an ACVIM diplomate that offers a unique opportunity for training. For example, this year one of our residents will spend 2 weeks at Haygard Davis and McGee in KY in their NICU. 2. Length of Training Program: 3 years 3. Advanced Degree: Masters: PhD: Optional If advanced degree is required or optional, please briefly describe how the graduate training is incorporated into the residency training program: If a terminal graduate degree is not obtained (i.e. masters or a PhD), then the program is 3 years and is listed with ACVIM as a separate program description. If a masters or PhD is done, this is the program description. If a PhD is done, the program is a minimum of 4 years and the PhD comes from one of the basic science departments, or our college-wdie PhD program (Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences). It is possible for a candidate to fulfill the requirements for ACVIM and the departmental graduate program within 4 years, with careful planning. However most of our resident/phd candidates require 5 years to complete both the PhD and residency. For those doing a PhD, the first year will be more heavily weighed to the PhD, with approximately 12 to 16 weeks on the clinic floor. The general exam is taken in the second or third year, and the specialty exam in the last year of the program. Residents in this program, continue do emergency duty and participate in journal clubs and medicine conferences when not on day clinics. The remaining 4 years are equally divided in time between clinical training and research. The masters degree can generally be completed within the three years and is a college-wide masters degree. The schedule for their general and certifying examinations are the same as for traditional 3year programs. 4. Resident Advisor(s): (Must be Diplomate(s) in the specialty and species of the program being registered.) Amelia Woolums for Brent Credille (currently enrolled in a dual PhD program) Michelle H. Barton for Erin McConachie (currently enrolled in a dual masters degree program) Steeve Giguere for Lisa Fultz (currently enrolled in a dual masters degree program) 5. Supervising Diplomates: (At least 2 on-site ACVIM Diplomates, one of whom must be a Diplomate in LAIM.)
