Job description

Overview

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.

Externship Details

We can provide you with the opportunity to shadow our Associate Veterinarians and highly qualified technicians to see as much as possible during your externship with us. You will have the chance to work up cases along with the doctor, assist in surgery, develop anesthesia protocols, and ask lots of questions to learn more about daily practice life! Our days are busy, but we do our best to have fun in the process of providing high quality care to our patients.

Most externship experiences at Greenbrier Veterinary Clinic 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.

Stipend

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. The stipend amount for Greenbrier Veterinary Clinic is $1,500.

Benefits

NVA offers a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, vision, a 401(k) with employer match, and paid time off (including sick time) for all eligible employees. The team can provide more information about compensation and benefits for your specific location during the process. For positions based in Colorado, NVA provides eligible employees with paid sick and safe leave and public health emergency leave in accordance with the requirements of Colorado's Healthy Families and Workplaces Act.
