. Helmwood Veterinary Clinic is a long-standing hospital in Elizabethtown, KY, celebrating 50 years in 2024. Two of our doctors have practiced at Helmwood for over 20 years and welcome mentoring new graduates and veterinary students.

In addition to practicing clinical skills, externs will have the opportunity to practice communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
