Veterinary Extern - Specialty

MissionVet Specialty & Emergency Externship

Although every Ethos 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.

An externship experience here at MissionVet Specialty & Emergency gives students real-life clinical experience in multi-specialty and emergency hospital, and the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills while working alongside experienced clinicians and board-certified specialists. Hands-on skills that may be practiced or observed include TPR's, examinations, anesthesia, surgical procedures, catheterization, ultrasound, and other diagnostic procedures as they are available.

Here at MissionVet Specialty & Emergency externship experiences are in two-week increments. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in Ethos externships, though preference may be given to students in their final year(s) of veterinary school.

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a paid externship. This is an hourly salary up to 40 hours per week.
