Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Program Overview Heron Creek Animal Hospital is a hospital that is always growing in clientele, medicine, and opportunities. We embrace freedom in how our DVMs practice their medicine while upholding AAHA standards of care. We are a high-volume general practice with a Fear-Free environment. We focus on quality over quantity, while also being the only practice in our area to never turn away new clients. Student 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.
