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 schools in their clinical years, typically meaning their 3rd or 4th year.

We offer stipends to help offset travel and lodging costs (unless prohibited by the veterinary school).

• 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 link: SAVMA Member Benefit and Resources | AVMA PLIT.

Helping Hands Veterinary Surgery and Dentistry of Florida offers high‑quality soft tissue surgery, orthopedic surgery, and dental procedures at affordable prices. Located in sunny Orlando, Florida, the practice is dedicated to mentorship for veterinary students and new graduates.

We treat dogs and cats and perform a wide range of surgeries, including enucleation, gastropexy (prophylactic and GDV), spay (routine and pyometra), neuter, abdominal exploratory, limb amputation, extracapsular repair for CCL rupture, FHO, and routine and advanced dental procedures.

You will actively participate in cases, be supervised by an experienced veterinarian and support staff, and have the opportunity to match the experience to your professional goals. Let us know which technical skills you want to improve, and we will emphasize those areas. Throughout the externship you will have case research assignments, mentor interactions, and client exposure to build confidence and competence.
