Description & Requirements

Helmwood Veterinary Clinic is a long-standing hospital in Elizabethtown, KY. We will be celebrating 50 years in 2024! Two of our doctors have practiced at Helmwood for over 20 years. They welcome the opportunity to mentor new grads and veterinary students.

Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of 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.

Most externship experiences 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.

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