Veterinary Extern - General Practice

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 in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. Responsibilities Gather patient histories, perform physical exams, and create treatment plans. Assist with or perform diagnostics and dentistry services. Observe, assist, or perform surgical procedures. Assist in medical management of patients. Practice communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients. Program Details Externship duration ranges from two to eight weeks, depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate. Students in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. The stipend amounts and program details are available on the NVA website.
