Join to apply for the Veterinary Extern - General Practice role at National Veterinary Associates 5 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants Join to apply for the Veterinary Extern - General Practice role at National Veterinary Associates An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: a supportive environment, a committment to excellent medicine, and providing exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. Students will work closely with the supervising DVMs to gain experience in GP medicine by gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, reviewing diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In some cases, the students may experience clinical skills in urgent and emergency care 24/7 or orthopedic surgery. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients. Most externship experiences at Animal Medical Center of Plainfield range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All DVM students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships. Students can expect to gain a full, well-rounded experience not only with in-hospital procedures and daily wellness care, but also with shelter and emergency medicine. Daily responsibilities: Assist our Veterinarians, fellow Veterinary students, and technicians with medical/patient care, medication dosages/administration, in-house labs, in-house diagnostics, and assist in surgical prep and procedures. DVM students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
