Veterinary Extern - Specialty & Emergency

Job Description

Applicants must be third or fourth-year students of accredited domestic or international veterinary schools, pursuing a DVM, VMD, or foreign equivalent.

Nashville Veterinary Specialists in Nashville, Tennessee, is the area’s premier specialty and emergency facility, offering seven services with board-certified specialists and 24/7 emergency care. We are excited to welcome third- and fourth-year veterinary student externs into our hospital to experience and learn from a diverse professional group and caseload in a highly collaborative specialty environment.

Student externs will visit our facility in two- to eight-week blocks, depending on your goals, interests, availability, and school requirements. You may choose to focus on one or two services, or rotate through many for a highly personalized educational experience. The typical schedule includes Monday through Friday day shifts, but you can elect to add evenings, weekends, or overnights if you want more emergency and critical care exposure.

Student externs participate in daily rounds and ICU rounds, shadow veterinarians, and may perform basic procedures or participate in surgery as cases allow.
