Veterinarian

Externship Opportunity

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students unique opportunity to understand day-to-day operations of the practice and gain valuable hands‑on clinical experience.

Students will work closely with supervising Associate Veterinarians to gather patient histories, perform physical exams, create treatment plans, conduct diagnostics, provide dentistry services, observe/assist or perform surgical procedures, and manage patients medically. In addition to practicing clinical skills, externs will develop communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

Externship durations at Twin Maples Veterinary Hospital typically range from two to eight weeks, depending on the student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students, regardless of class year, are encouraged to participate.

Veterinary students in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel and living expense stipend. Stipend amounts and program details are available through the careers site.

NVA offers a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, vision, a 401(k) with employer match, and paid time off (including sick time) for all eligible employees.
