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.

Responsibilities

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 their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

Duration & Eligibility

Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at Eagle Animal Clinic are offered to veterinary students in their final year of veterinary school.

Stipend

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
