Veterinary Extern - General Practice
We are a small practice with a close-knit team. Externs would get a lot of one-on-one time with our Medical Director Dr. Dyer in wellness and sick exams, surgery, and dentistry. If interested, the extern is welcome to shadow any department of the hospital, including management. This externship has the potential to be very hands-on, especially for 4th year.
Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian 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 at 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. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
