Job description

Externship Experience

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. Every NVA hospital is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides 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 examinations, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing or assisting in surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, students will have the opportunity to practice 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. Externships at Plantation Animal Hospital are designed for students in their final clinical year of veterinary school.

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