Job description

Although every Ethos hospital is unique, we all share key values: a supportive environment, a commitment to excellent medicine, and exceptional service for both animals and the people who love them.

Long Island Veterinary Specialists (LIVS) proudly offers an externship program that provides students with hands-on experience and insight into our multi-disciplinary specialty practice, showcasing our dedication to high-quality care.

An externship at an Ethos hospital offers students real-world clinical experience in a single- or multi-specialty setting. It’s an opportunity to apply classroom knowledge and develop clinical skills while working alongside experienced clinicians, board-certified specialists, interns, and residents. Students may observe or practice skills such as TPRs, physical examinations, anesthesia, surgical procedures, catheterization, ultrasound, and other diagnostic techniques, depending on availability.

Externships at Long Island Veterinary Specialists typically range from two to eight weeks, depending on the student’s availability and hospital scheduling. Veterinary students at any stage in their education are encouraged to apply, though preference may be given to those in their final years of veterinary school. All students are welcome to attend LIVS lectures, medical rounds, and continuing education seminars.
