Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Overview

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day‑to‑day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands‑on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.

Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gather patient histories, perform physical exams, create treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observe/assist or perform surgical procedures, and manage patient medical care. They will also practice communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

Most externship experiences at Animal House Veterinary Clinic range from two to eight weeks, depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students, regardless of class year, are encouraged to participate.

Veterinary students in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
