Job description

An externship experience at an NVA hospital offers students a unique opportunity to understand the daily operations of veterinary practice and gain valuable hands-on clinical experience.

Students will work closely with supervising Associate Veterinarians at Stoney Brook Veterinary Hospital 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. Additionally, externs will have opportunities to enhance their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

The externship duration typically ranges 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.
