Job Description

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice and gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all share some common features: a supportive environment, a commitment to excellent medicine, and the provision of exceptional service to animals and their owners.

Douglas Animal Hospital is located in beautiful Fredericton, NB. Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients.

In addition to practicing clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to enhance 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.

Veterinary students in their 3rd, 4th, or clinical year are encouraged to apply. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view the stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
