Veterinary Extern - Specialty

Job Description

Applicants must be fourth-year students of accredited domestic or international veterinary schools, pursuing a DVM, VMD, or foreign equivalent.

Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Wichita is excited to offer externships to fourth-year veterinary students. Work in our newly built, state-of-the-art facility, experience Wichita's only 24/7 emergency service, and learn from our board-certified surgery and dentistry specialists. Our student externs participate in a high caseload and can hone their clinical and communication skills in a real-world setting.

Program Overview:

We will customize your externship length and weekly schedule to your interests, department schedule and needs, and your school's requirements. After an initial orientation and hospital tour, you'll meet with your assigned DVM mentor to discuss your goals and current skill level. Then, you will be involved in a high caseload with some client interaction. VESH plans to expand and add more specialties, but we currently offer the following departments:

• Emergency
• Surgery
• Dentistry
• Limited radiology

Why choose VESH of Wichita?

We moved into a brand-new, 15,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in 2020. Our team and externs enjoy a spacious ICU, three surgical suites, dedicated GI and respiratory isolation areas, and a special procedures room that will accommodate our future growth. Our diagnostic suite includes CT, ultrasound, and endoscopy, and all our RVTs are RECOVER CPR certified. Our team focuses intensely on our patients and our team members support one another in advocating for every patient's care.

Wichita is the largest city in Kansas, yet boasts minimal traffic, low crime, and a low cost of living, so you can enjoy all the amenities of a big city without the hassles and expenses. There are also several parks only a short drive from the city center. Kansas was named among the top 10 sunniest states, with 225 sunny days per year.
