Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Externship Overview An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand day‑to‑day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands‑on clinical experience. Our hospital has been an established part of the community since 1960. We are currently in the early stages of designing a new building, only three blocks from our current hospital. Responsibilities 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. Program Details Externships typically range from two to eight weeks, depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at Clark Animal Hospital are offered to clinical year veterinary students only. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
