Types of Referrals
IMPORTANT: We offer three types of referrals through this form. When filling out the referral form below, please select the appropriate referral type.
- rDVM-IM Consultation
Internist-to-rDVM consultation. Internist partners with rDVM to communicate and work directly on case management. Consultation includes review of medical records, PE, and procedure(s); followed by verbal and written consultation with rDVM to discuss diagnostic findings, assessment, and recommendations.
The rDVM remains the primary doctor to communicate plan and long-term care with the client. Internist continues to follow-up with rDVM on case management on case-to-case basis as deemed appropriate.
- Client-IM Consultation
The more traditional consultation approach of transferring primary care of presenting concern(s) including communications +/- long-term follow-up case management to internist. Internist assumes most of the case management and communication.
If rDVM is interested, internist is happy to collaborate with rDVM, so client and patient can continue follow-up care with primary veterinarian and clinic.
- Ultrasound
All ultrasound referrals are coordinated through internal medicine.
