Berry Animal Clinic: DVM Clinical Externship

Are you a veterinary student looking for a hands‑on externship where you can build confidence, ask questions, and truly be part of the team?

Berry Animal Hospital, a privately owned practice in Ardmore, Alabama, uniquely positioned right on the Tennessee border, is offering externship opportunities for students who want real clinical exposure in a supportive, low‑pressure environment.

This is more than shadowing. You will be encouraged to get involved, think through cases, and grow at your own pace alongside a team that genuinely enjoys teaching.

• Exposure to a robust companion animal caseload with unique on‑site large animal exposure (roughly 5%)
• Hands‑on surgical reps, diagnostic workups, and treatment planning based on your comfort level
• Strong support from an excellent team utilizing a protective 2:1 tech‑to‑doctor workflow
• One‑on‑one mentorship from experienced veterinarians who follow a strict rule to never leave you stranded
• Instant access to a collaborative, network‑wide "Dream Team" via Microsoft Teams for real‑time case feedback

• A welcoming, collaborative, and drama‑free environment
• Flexibility in scheduling your externship dates
• Financial support through a travel stipend and local housing arrangements provided
• The opportunity to build relationships with our team that could naturally lead into a full‑time Associate role after graduation (complete with competitive base salary and sign‑on bonus), if it feels like the right fit on both sides

If you are looking for an externship where you will feel supported, included, and challenged in the right ways, we would love to chat with you. Please reach out.
