Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their 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 Navan Veterinary Services are offered to veterinary students in their final year of veterinary school. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
