Groves Veterinary Clinic in Port Charlotte, FL welcomes DVM students for a student externship. This paid externship offers hands-on exposure from routine wellness to emergency care under supervision.
Open to 1st–4th year AVMA-accredited students, the program provides flexible scheduling, 1:1 mentorship, and potential future employment opportunities at Alliance Animal Health.
Groves is not just a veterinary clinic — it’s a calling. A place where every pet and every person who walks through our doors is treated like family. Where standards aren’t just met — they’re raised. Where innovation and empathy go hand in hand. From routine wellness to emergency care, our systems mirror the precision and excellence of cutting-edge human hospitals.
Our team? Hand-selected for their skill, heart, and dedication. These are the people you want caring for your beloved companion — people who don’t just work in veterinary medicine, but live for it. And our reputation speaks for itself: we’ve been chosen twice by the University of Florida to mentor future veterinary leaders through their prestigious Practice Management Clerkship Program.
Services that we provide include boarding, dentistry, general small animal surgery (including soft tissue, TPLO, and other Orthopedic procedures), in-house laboratory diagnostics (including radiology ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and Ocular Tonometry), laser therapy, and wellness packages.
