Abstract

Nowadays are required competent professionals and prepared to take appropriate decisions based on technical expertise and experience in all areas. Front of assertion that theory doesn´t become practice and practice alone does not replace the knowledge, externships are extremely useful and important. The "The Ohio State University" offers interinstitutional externship with opportunities for deepening and enlargement of knowledge in areas of clinical and surgery of small animals by establishing new contacts for developing scientific and educational projects. The objective of externship in The Ohio State University (OSU), is to follow the clinical care, visit research laboratories, and to participate in ongoing projects in small animals. Additionally it will be used to improve skills and apply them as well in the PhD thesis (in progress), entitled "Serum concentrations of inducing (erythropoietin and IL-3) and suppressor (parathyroid hormone, IL-1, TNF alfa and IFN gama) erythropoiesis factors in canine chronic kidney disease".
