What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Student Externship position at Cats Limited Veterinary Hospital?
Description
Completing an externship with a clinic that has its own unique identity is like a cross-country car ride with your ears flapping in the breeze. Cats Limited Veterinary Hospital is excited to host veterinary students who have a passion for learning, and those looking to challenge themselves in a new environment while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
At our Rarebreed clinic, you’ll be able to spend extra time getting to know and treating your patients. It’s the kind of freedom that feels like running at the speed of light into a 5-story pile of leaves – and that’s just the beginning. While with our team for your externship, you’ll have access to the latest technology and collaborate with a positive team to deliver the highest quality of care to the pet patients we all love.
We love working with Veterinary students!
Our focus is to welcome you, as the next generation of veterinarians, into our hospital. We prioritize your clinical goals and ensure that you gain experience gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, treatment plan creation and execution, have exposure to diagnostics, dentistry services, observation and/or assisting with surgical procedures and excellent medical management of our patients. Not only will you have the opportunity to gain clinical experience, you’ll also have the chance to sharpen your communication skills with the hospital team and clients.
Externs are encouraged to participate in all aspects of patient care and case discussion while in clinic. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in medical rounds, clinical technical skill training and observation of surgical and dentistry cases.
Our externships are flexible—they can range from one to eight weeks during the year pending your needs and the hospital’s schedule. Veterinary students in all class years are encouraged to participate, though those in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel and living expense stipend.
