What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Extern - General Practice position at NVA?
Description & Requirements
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. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.
We have 7 phenomenal DVMs on staff that work very collaboratively with each other, and an amazing staff that is very skilled (8 RVTs on staff). We have an exceptional culture and we are always complimented on our hospital’s flow. Come meet our team!
Students will work closely with the supervising DVMs 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 Arbor View Veterinary Clinic are available for clinical year students only.
Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
