Veterinary Extern - Emergency & General Practice

I-20 Animal Medical Center offers up to a $2500 travel stipend for Clinical Year Externships 

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. 

24/365 days a year -ER/GP/Dental- This is a great opportunity to learn many aspects of small animal medicine with a terrific group of professionals!

Students will work closely with the supervising Associate Veterinarians 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. All DVM students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships at I-20 Animal Medical Center .

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click  HERE to view list of stipend amounts and  HERE for details on the stipend program.
