Veterinary Student Externship - North Port Animal Hospital

United Veterinary Care is delighted to host veterinary students for externships! This valuable clinical experience will let you take what you’ve learned in the classroom and put it to the test in an animal hospital of your choice. Our hands‑on externships are designed exclusively for veterinary students at AVMA‑accredited veterinary schools in their clinical years, typically meaning their 3rd or 4th year of vet school.

To make our externships as accessible as possible, we offer stipends to externs to help offset travel, lodging, and other costs (unless prohibited by the veterinary school you are attending).

• Must be a current veterinary student at an AVMA‑accredited veterinary school
• Priority scheduling is given to students in their clinical years on official externship blocks for school credit
• Must provide proof of professional liability insurance. SAVMA members qualify for no‑cost insurance by applying at the following link: SAVMA Member Benefit and Resources | AVMA PLIT

You will always be supervised by an experienced veterinarian and skilled support staff. Expect to be included in surgical cases, dental procedures, emergencies, sick patient workups, and routine medical appointments.

We encourage active participation from externs, introduce them to our clients, and truly make them part of our team.
