Externship

Woodside Equine Clinic offers externship opportunities for veterinary students interested in equine medicine. Our externship program is designed to provide hands-on clinical exposure while allowing students to learn alongside our veterinarians, interns, and technical staff in a collaborative and supportive environment. Externs participate in both hospital and ambulatory services, observing and assisting with a variety of cases including wellness care, lameness evaluations, diagnostic imaging, surgery, emergency care, and sports medicine.

Students are encouraged to ask questions, engage in case discussions, and gain a deeper understanding of clinical decision-making and patient care. Through this experience, externs gain practical insight into equine veterinary practice while developing clinical skills, professional communication, and teamwork in a fast-paced referral hospital setting. Our goal is to create a meaningful educational experience that supports the next generation of equine veterinarians.
