STUDENT SURGICAL ROTATION

Dr. Hodges’ laparoscopic surgery elective rotation has been formally approved by the Ontario Veterinary College. The program provides both theoretical and hands-on exposure to laparoscopic procedures, instrumentation, and perioperative management in a small-animal surgical setting. As this is a small, specialized practice with a significant mobile component, capacity for hosting students is limited to one at a time. To maintain a high-quality educational environment and ensure appropriate case availability, placements are scheduled selectively and in accordance with Dr. Hodges’ surgical schedule. We are happy to consider students at any time, subject to scheduling and availability.

For more information or to request a rotation spot, please submit a contact request form.

In association with The Center for Advancement of Rigid Endoscopy (CARE), Dr. Hodges provides Laparoscopic instruction to licenced veterinarians (both introductory courses as well as training for Biovision customers). 

The 2026 course schedule is currently unavailable so please submit a request for information here
