Job description

Externship Program

303 Animal Clinic offers up to a $1,500 travel stipend for Clinical Year Externships! 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 share a supportive, dedicated environment that is committed to excellent medicine and to providing exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.

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 or assisting in surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition, externs will practice communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

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.

Eligibility

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