Hands-on skills that may be practiced or observed include TPR’s, examinations, anesthesia, surgical procedures, catheterization, ultrasound, and other diagnostic procedures as they are available.

Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules.Externships at SAGE Redwood City are only offered to students in their final year of veterinary school.
