Veterinary Extern - Equine

The goal of our externship is to expose to students to our varied caseload with both an in-hospital, boarded specialist component as well as an ambulatory medicine component. We also have a busy, after-hours emergency caseload that allows for more participation of the extern, especially as we develop more comfort with their knowledge base and skill set.

• Assist with treatments
• Participate in rounds and journal clubs
• Assist with daily tasks and accompany/observe veterinarians on calls

We recommend at least a two-week block, but most students benefit from a three- to four-week block if possible. For students interested in application for the internship program, a two-week visit is highly recommended. This allows for a working interview, for both the extern and the doctors.

• Must be a veterinary student.
• Highest priority will be given to third- and fourth-year veterinary students with an interest in pursuing an equine internship.

An extern room on-site with full bathroom is available to visiting externs. Residence at the clinic during the externship is strongly encouraged to take advantage of after-hours experiences.

Externs will be expected to assist with treatments as deemed appropriate on hospitalized patients. The majority of the time will be assisting during daytime appointments either in-hospital or on an ambulatory basis.

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Details on the stipend program are available.
