It offers referral and emergency services to RI, eastern CT and southern MA. Highly trained emergency doctors and nursing staff oversee inpatient care 24/7. The newly renovated facility offers Internal Medicine, Surgery, Radiation Oncology, and Medical Oncology. Our sister hospital, Ocean State Veterinary Specialists, is located 30 minutes away.
Whatto Expect From Your Externship
During your externship, you will actively participate in cases and further your development toward becoming a veterinarian. You will be supervised by an experienced veterinarian and skilled support staff who serve as mentors. If there are specific technical skills you wish to improve, let us know so we can emphasize those areas. Externs are encouraged to actively engage with clients, listen to patient history, conduct preliminary exams, and formulate diagnostic and treatment plans.
Externs may select one case per week to research and share with veterinarians during case discussions, fostering mutual learning.
- UVC offers externs a $600/week stipend (up to 4 weeks total across all UVC locations) as allowed by your educational institution.
