Veterinarian

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give veterinary 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, all share a supportive, patient‑focused environment that commits to excellent medicine and exceptional service to animals and their owners. Externship Overview Students will work closely with supervising Associate Veterinarians at Strawbridge Animal Care to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing or assisting in surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing clinical skills, externs will practice communication with the medical team, support staff, and clients. Duration Externship experiences range from two to eight weeks, depending on student and hospital schedules. Eligibility and Stipend All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate. Students in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
