Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Externship Experience 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. Students will work closely with the supervising Associate Veterinarians to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing, assisting, or performing surgical procedures, and managing patients medically. In addition, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients. Most externship experiences at Sunset Veterinary Clinic range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All Veterinary students, regardless of class year, are encouraged to participate in NVA externships. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
