What to Expect from Your Externship We want to hear about your professional goals for your externship experience. Please indicate your top priorities in your application so we can tailor the experience to meet your needs.
You will actively participate in cases and further your development toward becoming a veterinarian. Throughout your time with us, you will be supervised by an experienced veterinarian and skilled support staff who will serve as mentors. Expect to be included in surgical cases, dental procedures, emergencies, sick patient workups, and routine medical appointments. If there are specific technical skills you want to improve, let us know so we can emphasize those areas. We encourage active participation, introduce you to our clients, and make you part of our team. By listening to patient history, conducting a preliminary exam, and formulating a plan for diagnostics and treatment, you will put your education to the test. You will discuss cases with your supervising veterinarian and have them verify your exam findings and treatment plans. This dynamic creates an ideal environment for you to grow in confidence and skill managing both routine and complex cases.
We encourage externs to select one case per week to research further and engage the veterinarians in discussion. These case discussions help our teams learn and grow together, further emphasizing that mentorship is a two‑way street.
We truly enjoy hosting externs and having new graduates join our teams, as new team members always bring shared knowledge.
