VEG ER for Pets

WHO WE ARE VEG is a rapidly growing emergency company with hospital locations across the United States. Our mission is helping people and their pets when they need it most. We are revolutionizing emergency medicine with a “customer first” mentality and a true, employee‑centric work environment.

TALENT + CULTURE AT VEG At VEG, we want people and their pets to feel safe, secure, and valued; we want our employees to feel the same way. We strive to give the best experience for both our customers and our teams. VEG is one of this year’s nominees for INC Magazine’s Best Places to Work.

ABOUT THE EXTERNSHIP VEG’s Veterinary Technician/Nursing Student Externship Program gives vet tech/nursing students hands‑on experience in emergency medicine while working alongside our credentialed, emergency veterinary technicians. Students will focus on honing their emergency skills including obtaining patient vitals, processing laboratory samples, caring for hospitalized patients, triaging emerging cases, and collaborating in a fast‑paced environment.

Notes Unless you are already employed by us, this is an unpaid externship. Rabies vaccinations are required for all externs (even if you are already employed by us). This application is always open to collect interest in an externship but your selected hospital may not always be able to accept students.

Flexibility & Focus

Flexibility: Choose the length of your externship to meet your school’s requirements

Location: Choose where you’d like to extern (depending on hospital bandwidth)

Mentorship: You will be supported by a credentialed veterinary technician

Focus: You will be fully‑immersed in what emergency medicine truly entails

REQUIREMENTS

Currently enrolled in an AVMA CVTEA accredited veterinary technology or veterinary nursing program (or one actively seeking accreditation) and in a class that requires externship hours and/or skills. This is not for veterinary students or veterinary assistant students – only veterinary technology or veterinary nursing students.

Your externship must begin within 6 months of application.

You must be vaccinated for rabies unless your school’s rabies mitigation policy allows unvaccinated students to handle unvaccinated animals.
