Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Aurora Animal Hospital Externship Aurora Animal Hospital is a flourishing nine‑doctor practice that practices high quality medicine with a balance of wellness and surgery as well as urgent care. While we mostly serve dogs and cats, we have a large exotics clientele serving many reptiles, small mammals, and chickens. Students will work closely with the supervising Associate Veterinarians to gain experience gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. All of our doctors are very friendly and enjoy mentoring. In addition to practicing their technical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
