Program Overview:

You may choose to focus on one or two services, or rotate through many for a highly personalized educational experience. The typical schedule includes Monday through Friday day shifts, but you can elect to add evenings, weekends, or overnights if you want more emergency and critical care exposure. Student externs participate in daily rounds and ICU rounds, shadow veterinarians, and may perform basic procedures or participate in surgery as cases allow.
