Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Ohana Veterinary Care is a small animal practice that has three full‑time doctors and one relief doctor. We have a cohesive, encouraging, and family‑like environment that allows all employees to thrive in providing the best quality of care to our patients. Our main focus is to educate the client to be more involved in their pet’s journey which allows them to make the best medical decisions for their pets. Balance is important to us and our doctors get 90‑minute lunch breaks and a few 30‑minute blocks during their day. Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of 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. Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at Ohana Veterinary Care are offered to 3rd and 4th year veterinary students. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
