VISITING PRACTITIONER PROGRAM
Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University is proud to be able to extend to the veterinary medical community the opportunity to participate in our Visiting Practitioner Program. Practitioners who wish to receive training in one or more clinical disciplines, to learn new techniques, switch areas of clinical practice, etc., are assigned to a mentor for varying periods of time. Visiting practitioners work along with the mentor, learning as the caseload of the service is managed, but they do not have primary patient care responsibility. A formal program with specific goals is developed for each candidate by the department/mentor. Because of limitations of space and faculty time, each request for entry into this program is carefully evaluated. Please note: Application does not guarantee acceptance.

The logistics of the Visiting Practitioner Program are coordinated through the Office of Continuing Education. Application to the Program is made through that office. The following basic requirements must be met to be considered for the program:
