Job Type: Veterinary Extern

Description & Requirements

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. Huntsville Animal Hospital is a community-focused veterinary practice dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for pets. Our hospital prides itself on its experienced team, state-of-the-art facilities, and a wide range of services including preventative care, diagnostics, surgery, and dental care. Students who extern with us can expect to gain experience in a supportive and collaborative environment, working alongside skilled veterinarians and support staff. They will have the opportunity to enhance their clinical skills, learn about advanced medical treatments, and participate in a variety of cases, all while contributing to the well-being of pets in our community.

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 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.
