Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Job Description 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 incommon: 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 gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. 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. Bayview Animal Clinic is located in Sunny Fort Lauderdale, walking distance to the beach. The practice has been established for over 50 years. Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks, depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at Bayview are offered to students in their final clinical year of veterinary school. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
