Veterinary Extern - General Practice

AMC Kingsville is proud to be part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA) , a network of over 1,000 veterinary hospitals that share a commitment to providing exceptional care for pets and animals. As part of the NVA family, we offer a supportive and dynamic environment where clinical year veterinary students can gain invaluable hands‑on experience. About Our Hospital: Located just 40 minutes south of Corpus Christi, AMC Kingsville is a well-established, multi‑doctor mixed animal practice, with the vast majority of our caseload consisting of small animals. Our modern facility includes advanced diagnostic tools such as digital X‑rays, ultrasound, and in‑house Idexx labs. With nearly 50 years of service, our collaborative team is dedicated to providing high‑quality, compassionate care. While we are equipped to treat both small and large animals, our current large animal caseload is limited. Students should expect a predominantly small animal experience, with occasional exposure to large animal cases depending on the week. Externs will work closely with our veterinarians to gain experience in: Physical exams and diagnostics. Surgical procedures and dentistry services . Treatment plans and medical management. Client communication and teamwork. Externships typically range from 2 to 8 weeks and offer exposure to primarily small animal medicine, with a sprinkle of large animals. Stipend: We offer up to a $1,500 stipend to help with travel and living expenses for clinical year externs. Location: Kingsville, TX, offers a unique blend of small‑town charm and access to big‑city amenities. Nestled in the heart of South Texas, the town is just a short drive from Corpus Christi’s beautiful beaches and outdoor recreational spots like hunting, fishing, and hiking. Enjoy the best of both worlds – peaceful, country living with easy access to the vibrant culture of San Antonio and the rich history of Mexico, both only a couple of hours away. Kingsville is perfect for those who love adventure, nature, and a relaxed lifestyle. Who Should Apply: This opportunity is ideal for clinical year veterinary students mainly interested in small animal practice with some interest in mixed animal medicine. You’ll gain real‑world experience in a supportive, learning‑focused environment alongside a dedicated and experienced veterinary team. #J-18808-Ljbffr Star Valley Veterinary Clinic
